This summer, Horizon Digital Economy Research (http://www.horizon.ac.uk ) is seeking enthusiastic postgraduate student interns to undertake 10-week research projects at the University of Nottingham. Internships will attract a bursary of £300 per week, and interns will be given office and lab space within Horizon at the University of Nottingham, and access to the equipment required to undertake the projects. The intern will be responsible for using the bursary to cover their own travel, accommodation and subsistence costs - arranging accommodation will also be the intern's responsibility, however we will do what we can to seek out accommodation options for the intern.
