Description
We are looking for an international student who qualifies for a 4-6 months’ paid internship related to either forestry (biomass equations, root traits and functions) or coastal ecosystems and processes (erosion, blue carbon). The intern will be based in the group of Professor Anne Ola at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique in Quebec City (Canada).
The work will be primarily laptop based, thus an affinity for data analysis/modelling using, for example, R is essential. A good command of English is also important to perform literature research and help with data mining, as well as some basic understanding of French (or an interest in learning it).
Note that this is an exchange program, it is therefore essential to be enrolled in a program at another institution for the duration of the internship.
