**Please note, it is an opportunity being advertised by an external institution to the university.

The Welsh Government is currently offering PhD Student Placements within their Climate Change and Rural Affairs division.

These placements present a fantastic chance for students to gain hands-on experience working at the heart of policy development and implementation, especially in areas that are at the forefront of both national and global concern. By joining the Climate Change and Rural Affairs division, students will have the opportunity to contribute to important projects, collaborate with experts in the field, and develop their research skills in a dynamic and supportive environment.

The placements are designed to help students bridge the gap between academic research and government policy, offering them the chance to apply their knowledge and enthusiasm to real-world challenges. Participants will gain invaluable insight into how government operates, whilst also enhancing their professional profile and expanding their network within the sector.

Anyone with an interest in climate change, sustainability, rural policy, or public sector research can consider applying. This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of meaningful change and to help shape the future of Wales’ approach to environmental and rural affairs.
