Are you a PhD student at UCL eager to build your skills in participatory evaluation, arts engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration?

We are looking for 15 motivated PhD students from any UCL faculty or department to join an exciting paid opportunity as 'Evaluation Partners' through the Evaluation Exchange x Trellis: Arbor programme. 

You will be matched to a group—comprising an artist, researcher and community collaborator— and your role will be to help design, shape and implement the evaluation for their collaborative commission.

What’s in it for you?

• Expert training in evaluation, consultancy, and collaborative research
• £1,500 fee (approx. 9 days' work over 9 months)
• Mentorship and peer support
• Hands-on experience with interdisciplinary teams
• Insights into the impacts of neurological disease on the communities that it affects, visual arts, and community-based research
