About the JRA scheme

Find out more about our Junior Research Associate scheme.

The Junior Research Associate (JRA) scheme aims to inspire and excite students about the idea of postgraduate study and a career in research.

Designed to give students the best possible chance of success, it lasts eight weeks and gives a taste of working in a research role. Students will complete a summer research project under the guidance of a Sussex academic.

We want the JRA scheme to benefit all students who are enthusiastic about a future in research, and who will conduct a successful research project with merit. We aim to make it accessible to students who might not otherwise be exposed to research or consider a research career.
