4 weeks ago

Cambridge, Canada rare Charitable Research Reserve Full time

Supervised by and reporting to the Conservation Scientist - Research Priorities, Partnerships & Monitoring, and working in a team environment with all program advisors, staff and volunteers, the Ecological Monitoring Assistant is responsible for conducting summer monitoring and other related duties, as required.

ELIGIBILITY

This is a paid position, under the Government of Canada - Canada Summer Jobs Program. Requirements of funding state that the participant must:

- be between 15 and 30 years of age at the beginning of the employment period*;
- be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for the duration of the employment**; and,

International students include anyone who is temporarily in Canada for studies and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada. Youth awaiting a refugee status ruling, as well as those who hold a temporary visitor visa, youth visa or work visa are ineligible.
