We are offering an internship in dementia research, as part of a national initiative to support people interested in developing a career in dementia research.

This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with, and learn from, experienced dementia researchers in an academic research setting. The intern will work with Dr. Claudio Di Lorito on the study 'Promoting uptake and continued use of social care services in people with dementia who live alone and have no informal support'.

Interns will have access to the programme of training and events offered by the ARC North Thames Academy, in addition to training opportunities provided by their host departments.

Applicants should have at least a BA/BSc in a social science degree (MA/MSc are preferable), an interest/experience in social care and dementia, and experience in qualitative research methods.

The internship is available any time from 15 May 2025, working one-two days/week for approximately six months (or an alternative equivalent duration). The post will be based in the Research Department of Primary Care and Population Health and the intern is expected to work on site.
