**Summer Research Students**

The Ontario Hazelnut Association (“OHA”) is looking for eager and enthusiastic summer students for work on research farms at various locations in Ontario.

The OHA is helping to spearhead the development of a hazelnut industry in Ontario by working with researchers, government, producers, and processors across the province.

The **Summer Research student** will provide critical support to the development of the hazelnut industry in Ontario. The Summer Research student role will involve both infield work as well as analytical aspects. The role is part of the Canada Summer Jobs program and is 35 hours per week over 8 weeks in the summer, starting May 27th, 2024.

**Role**

The Summer Research student will be responsible for:

- Supporting the farm operator in planting, maintaining, and caring for the Hazelnut trees,
- Grass cutting, weeding and supporting irrigation needs of the farmer,
- Recording information about weather, tree conditions, tree counts etc.
- Compiling records, preparing spreadsheets and reports for the farmer and for the association,

The gathering of observed data from the field, in uncontrollable environments - with weather and disease etc. - would showcase the challenges of field research.
