Expectations: Fieldwork can be strenuous and sometimes involves long days in inclement weather. Applicants with previous fieldwork experience and familiarity with tundra ecosystems are encouraged to apply although no prior experience is required. I will provide training for first-timers with an interest in ecology. In addition to fieldwork, I strongly encourage and support the interns to be active participants in the research community. Attendance at seminars given by other researchers will be strongly encouraged. Candidates will be encouraged to develop their own research projects. There are opportunities to interact with professionals in the field such as Environment Canada, Parks Canada, Manitoba Conservation, Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources as well as professors, graduate students and undergraduates from a variety of institutions.

Dates: Dates can be flexible to accommodate the best applicants, but will generally run as follows:
Full Season: May 26 to August 1. 
Early Season: May 26 to July 2.
Late Season: June 29 to August ~2

Compensation: Roundtrip transportation provided from Winnipeg to Churchill. There is a possibility of some additional transportation support to get candidates to Winnipeg. In Churchill, research technicians will live in shared lodging and receive basic food staples.
