The Junior Research Associate (JRA) scheme allows selected undergraduate students to take part in a summer research project under the guidance of an academic. Successful applicants will receive a bursary to undertake an eight-week, full-time research project over the summer months, working with academic supervisors to contribute to cutting-edge research across the university.
The scheme is open to all Sussex undergraduate students who are in a middle year of study (i.e. have already completed one year of study and not to be in their final year), have a genuine interest in pursuing postgraduate study and have a good academic track record.
Students can either apply with one of the projects below or suggest an original proposal (as long as a member of faculty is willing to supervise).
