Positions with the School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan
Graduate Students (M.E.S)
Dr. Lori Bradford, and an interdisciplinary team of co-investigators in the School of Environment and Sustainability at University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada are looking for highly motivated graduate students (2 M.E.S.) to conduct research on nutrient management among Treaty 4, 5, and 6 Nations in the Prairies. The team includes researchers from different fields (toxicologists, social scientists, law researchers, and engineers) and mentors from partnering communities, whose goal is to understand the variety of water management approaches in rural and Indigenous communities that contribute to nutrient-related issues in the Lake Winnipeg Basin. The main aim of this project is to support Indigenous people in three Lake Winnipeg Basin (LWB) contributing watersheds to support integrated watershed nutrient management. The interested candidates will work on projects that apply a combination of field and laboratory sampling, community engagement, social science methods, and interdisciplinary thinking to contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying physical, toxicological, law and Treaty-based considerations for nutrient management in the Prairies.
