Computing & Software Development Industrial Placements
Applications for 2020 now open!
It’s the age of data. But how can data’s value be maximised to aid research and innovation in fields ranging from energy to engineering, from particle physics to the life sciences? And what will the computing landscape of tomorrow actually look like?
We provide organisations in academia and industry with world-class expertise and support in computational science. Specifically, we enable all types of organisation to develop software, tame data mountains, discern patterns in complex datasets and harness computing to improve prediction and forecasting:
Don’t wait until you graduate to experience working at STFC, we have a variety of opportunities for undergraduates, via our: Industrial Placements. Whilst working at STFC you will gain on the job work experience, working on real projects alongside expert scientists and engineers. By joining us on a placement, you could also earn the opportunity to be sponsored through the rest of your degree – before returning to us as a graduate.
You could be working with the world leading experts and be involved in some of the world’s biggest and most exciting science and engineering projects. Many industrial placements will provide you with the opportunity to develop your skills and gain vital experience, but not many can also offer you the opportunity to make history. At STFC you won't just observe- you'll help to make things happen. We'll trust you, value you and empower you to contribute ideas and make a difference.

About The Science and Technology Council (STFC)
STFC is one of nine organisations that have been brought together to create UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); a new organisation with a vision to ensure the UK maintains its world-leading position in research and innovation.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is one of Europe’s largest research organisations. Through combining world-class facilities with major international collaborations, and some of the world’s most talented staff, we’re driving ground-breaking advances in science and engineering.
Our research seeks to understand the Universe from the largest astronomical scales to the tiniest constituents of matter, and our staff have played fundamental roles in some of the most high profile science and engineering projects of recent years. From cancer treatment to airport security, high-tech jobs to hydrogen powered cars, energy generation to accident scene emergency care, our impact is felt in many aspects of daily life. We provide and exploit space and astronomy technology, a world-leading neutron scattering facility, ultra-fast supercomputers, amazing scientific instruments and some of the most powerful lasers in the world. We work with industry and academia throughout the UK, Europe and the world. For more information on STFC please view one of our videos featured at the bottom of our page.
