We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment, which we strongly believe strengthens the science we conduct. We encourage all qualified women of all race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability and age to apply.

Eligibility 1: Enrolled in or completed an undergraduate degree in exercise science/physiology, human kinetics, kinesiology, physical and health education, or related (exercise focused!).

Eligibility 2: Planning to or currently enrolled in graduate studies (MSc or PhD) with a career goal of conducting exercise science & human health research.

Eligibility 3: Must self-identify as a woman. We are committed to creating opportunities for women given the under-representation of women in science and leadership positions, and in exercise science research. #WomenInSTEM

Eligibility 4: Commit to 5 hours/week (or more if you would like) for 1 year. Schedule is flexible (you choose when you work) to accommodate your other education, work and/or family responsibilities.

Why apply 4: Opportunity to assist with/learn about literature & systematic reviews (with opportunity for co-authorship if criteria are met: icmje.org/recommendation…) focused on exercise/physical activity & atrial fibrillation

Why apply 5: Your photo and bio will be included on our lab web page (of course, you have joined the team!). An honorarium (value up to $1,500 CAD) may be available in funding permits and upon excellent performance.

How to apply: Please send a cover letter (max 500 words) and resume telling us why you are interested in joining the team and why you are the perfect fit for this inaugural internship.
