About This Opportunity

Sistering Indigenous and Western Science (SINEWS) is a paid mentorship program intended to increase the representation and participation of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women in science-related disciplines and research. Pairs of female identifying students, one of which must be Indigenous, will propose, develop, implement and report on research projects over the course of a 4–8 month term position. The program accepts up to 8 pairs of female-identifying students to become employees of the Government of Canada for a period of up to eight months. Student pairs will be given a specific budget to complete their research, access to NRCan mentors relevant to their location and project, access to research facilities and the support and guidance of the SINEWS' Elder in Residence. Projects must be of relevance to Indigenous community needs and supportable within the mandate of Natural Resources Canada.
