If you are interested in gaining an insight into politics and science policy making or to pair up with an MP or a Civil Servant, take part in the Royal Society’s Pairing Scheme.

The Royal Society are looking for scientists at post-doctoral level and above, either with a research fellowship or working at a Research Council institute, with an interest in science communication and a thirst for learning how policy is formed.

Applications for scientists wanting to take part in this scheme will be open from Wednesday 4 March to Friday 3 April; an application form will be available on the Royal Society website, together with further information on the scheme.

In the meantime, if you have any questions then please email the Royal Society.
