The scheme provides an opportunity for an AHRC funded postgraduate student to be seconded to the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) to assist in producing objective briefing materials for MPs and Peers.
The fellowship will take place over a three month period, with a likely starting date between September 2013 and May 2014.
Eligibility
