Summer Undergraduate Research
Come work at the IfA for the summer
Opportunities exist for undergraduates to work at the IfA for the summer.
Please consult the general information about summer placements available to University of Edinburgh students for broader information.
The first step is to get a project. Talk to academic staff and research fellows about projects they may have. There is a list of available topics maintained by the IfA staff for the co-ordination of summer student projects.
Funding for projects is available from the
- Science and Engineering Vacation Scholarships (See in particular "EPSRC Scholarships" and "College Scholarships")
- Royal Astronomical Society (See "Undergraduate research bursaries")
- Royal Society of Edinburgh (See "Cormack & Piazzi Smyth Undergraduate Vacation Research Scholarship)
Applications deadlines are in February for the RAS bursary and April for the Royal Society Scholarship
