Fellowships & Internships

Research fellowships are full-time programs. Applicants must have a Master’s or Bachelor’s degree as well as several years of experience. Research is conducted under the supervision of a Center’s scientist. Fellowships are usually for one year with a possible extension for another year. Preference is given to self-funded candidates, or candidates who can be funded through existing Center’s projects.

Graduate students are those seeking to do their MSc or PhD thesis work at the Center, and are enrolled at a university. A candidate must be endorsed by their university adviser. The Center’s scientist who agrees to guide the student’s research must be accepted by the university as a member of the student’s thesis advisory committee. 

Undergraduate students are:

1. Those who have completed major courses and are working towards their senior research project or equivalent or
2. Students who are interested in participating in the Center’s research projects during their summer break on a topic within a supervising scientist’s research project that may contribute towards a thesis.

Duration of an undergraduate student’s research will vary according to the funding sources and availability of scientists to supervise students. However, the minimum duration of undergraduate students training is two months.

Research interns are individuals interested in conducting research under the supervision of a Center’s scientist. Internships typically last for a period of up to 3 months.
