Work experience students
Our work experience programme allows students studying in Camden to experience first-hand the wide range of roles essential to the work of the Crick.
Introduction
Our work experience programme highlights the variety of careers available, from world-leading laboratory research to the supporting business services.
Placements might be in research laboratories in areas such as cell biology, genetics, immunology and bioinformatics. Work experience could be also in non-laboratory locations such as the IT, reception services, public engagement and education teams.
During placements, students are involved in a range of activities supervised by one of our staff.
