NIHR Undergraduate Intern
Job Description

About Queen Mary
At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.
Throughout our history, we?ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it?s simply ?the right thing to do? but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.
Queen Mary?s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. To support students to participate in this internship, we are able to provide some support towards travel and accommodation.
Have you ever wondered what a research career is like? Do you have questions about cancer diagnosis and how we can make things better for patients? We are looking for an undergraduate student to take part in an NIHR Undergraduate Internship summer 2025.
The internship will take place within the MODE Study (Non-cancer diagnoses and their potential for missed opportunities in symptomatic cancer diagnosis: a mixed methods study) team at Queen Mary University of London. The MODE study is using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand when non-cancer diagnoses (?interim diagnoses?) before a cancer diagnosis, represent missed opportunities to diagnose cancer.
The successful candidate will be involved in the planning, preparation and running of a stakeholder event which aims to identify targets for future interventions for reducing delays in cancer diagnosis. This could include: contributing to data analysis, working with patient and public representatives to create and test accessible summaries of the study findings, and supporting discussions at the event.
You will be working closely with a team of researchers, clinicians and people with lived experience, as well as meeting with a range of experts at the event. Training and mentorship will be provided in the relevant skills required to complete these projects. This will be an excellent opportunity to gain research and science communication experience, build your professional network, and contribute to a significant area of research and public health.
The internship position will last 8 weeks, and will be expected to take place between July and September 2025.
