While you're here, grab a fresh ARDC sticker for your laptop, radio case, or wherever stickers tend to end up. We’d love to see you before the show wraps up.

I'm happy to reveal that I have finally managed to get a new internship scheme launched at my College! I want a Digital Communications Intern to join my team at The Royal College of Psychiatrists for a 3-month internship.

This would ideally suit a UK-based PhD student who is taking part in the PIPS scheme. Sadly, we cannot pay for this internship so it would need to be funded via an academic programme.

This internship offers the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience working on live digital projects within a professional communications team. You’ll build your understanding of digital strategy, content development, and analytics, while developing transferable skills in research, communication, and collaboration.

As a former PhD student who went on to a research career, I'd also hope that I could be a good mentor, especially regarding any discussion around transitions to a post-research career.

Find out more here in link below. Please share with anyone you think might be interested.
