Hawkins\Brown are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic student or recent graduate to undertake a paid research internship this summer!

If you want to combine multiple disciplines that seem to be living in different universes, indulge yourself with academic research without losing the ground beneath your feet, and be creative with the idiosyncrasies of built environment research: look no further; you found the right place.

We are looking for a new member of our social research team to support and diversify ongoing projects and help us expand our in-house foresight offer.

We would expect you to be able to creatively work with a wide range of qualitative and quantitative evidence. Combined with a flexible, inquisitive mindset, these analytic skills will be more important than technical software knowledge, which you will learn on the way. We are more interested in your attitude than in software skills.

We are an architectural practice and work in a communicative environment within multidisciplinary teams. Good communication skills, verbally, written and visually, are, therefore, essential. You will be able to explain and summarise complex subjects in a wide range of media to people from all backgrounds.

What you'll need

Ideally, you have a degree in social sciences or related humanities, such as geography or sociology. A combination of degrees would be beneficial. However, the key is not the type of degree but your keen interest in applying your knowledge and research curiosity to the built environment. You should be driven by a passion for design processes and how they impact human behaviour and social structures as well as emerging trends cross-sector.
