[Academic] Fwd: [DIRECTORS-TEACHING-LEARNING] Nuffield Research Placements for Year 12 students

[Brian]

Dear All,

Please see below and attached an opportunity for academic and/or 
research staff to engage with  high attaining, yet socially and 
economically disadvantaged, final year school students over the summer 
period via an Nuffield sponsored online project.

If you are research staff and have a suitable project, please discuss 
with your line-manager.

I think this would be a good project to get involved with as, in 
addition to helping out school students from low socio-economic 
backgrounds, it may also help open up other funding opportunities via 
the Nuffield Foundation: https://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/funding

Pleasse let me know if you are considering applying and note the 
deadline in the email below for expressing interest of 26 May.

Regards,

Brian.

> Can you help to inspire the next generation of researchers?  The

>
> This programme, has been developed in response to the coronavirus

> programme during summer 2020.
>
> Equipped with plenty of detailed knowledge about the skills that 
> placements develop, we have created a set of online activities that 
> will stretch and develop students’ research, data analysis and 
> essential skills. We are looking for these to be complemented by 
> collaboration with knowledge experts on a research question. These 
> supervised research question activities will be set within a Virtual 
> Learning Environment over a three to four-week period in July and August.
>
> The students we target are high attaining yet socially and 
> economically disadvantaged, who are considering physics related 
> further study and careers. These students are currently facing a long 
> period away from formal learning and the importance of enrichment and 
> extension activities like this have probably never been greater.
>
> There are a large number of students from these backgrounds who have 
> already registered for the programme this summer. The limiting factor 
> is the number of physics researchers to support these students, so the 
> Nuffield Foundation is seeking new researchers to supervise projects.
>
> The Institute of Physics is assisting the Nuffield Foundation to 
> promote NFR to help to source more physics project supervisors this 
> summer. If you would like to express your interest, please complete
