SUMMER EMPLOYMENT 2023: SINEWS (Natural Resources Canada)
- Location: Various Locations
- Deadline: December 31, 2022 at 4:00 pm
Are you interested in science research and how it can be braided with traditional Indigenous knowledge? SINEWS is for you!
Women, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, including cis, trans and non-binary, are under represented in many science fields and disciplines. SINEWS wants to change that by
providing early career development experiences to encourage students interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs to explore new opportunities in
the sciences or increase opportunities for those already enrolled in science programs.
SINEWS is a paid mentorship program that pairs two female identifying post secondary students (at least one of which must identify as Indigenous) with a researcher from Natural
Resources Canada (NRCan). Over the course of eight months, student pairs will develop and implement a research project that falls within NRCan’s mandate and address an Indigenous
community’s need. The goal of SINEWS is to help female students increase their capacity in the areas of traditional knowledge, Indigenous relations and engagement and provide a
solid base for their future career.
