RHUL Careers provides a range of services that aim to assist students in their choice of career, to help them take the initial steps and to support them in the job hunting process, while developing valuable skills along the way. Our team of Application Advisors play a vital role for the careers service, by providing students with tailored advice and feedback on written applications, CVs, and cover letters.

Appointments are offered between 10.00 – 18.00 Monday – Friday and cover will be required for this period.
Application Advisers will be expected to attend online training sessions at the start of term and on-going training as appropriate.

- Be currently enrolled on a doctoral programme of study at RHUL, with at least 1 year of study remaining.
