The Indigenous Research Partnership at the Faculty of Land and Food System invites applications for the second semester of Summer 2023 Internship Positions at xʷc̓ ic̓ əsəm: Indigenous Health Research and Education Garden.

The xʷc̓ ic̓ əsəm Garden is located on the unceded lands and waterways of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam) people at the UBC Farm. The program is led by Indigenous Elders, knowledge keepers, community members, students, and Indigenous Faculty. The Garden aims to serve educational and research needs related to Indigenous knowledges and its intersections with other ways of knowing. The xʷc̓ ic̓ əsəm Garden focuses on Indigenous food sovereignty, food security, land-based health and wellness, and traditional plant knowledge, while increasing participants’ access to traditional and non-traditional plants/food knowledge and practices. The Garden hosts research and education programs supporting UBC teaching and learning initiatives; it collaborates with Indigenous communities and organizations, schools, and other communities.

See the link below and attachment to learn more. Applications are due by June 30, 2023.

Course Information

Plant systems are dynamic in space and time across multiple organizational levels. Modern image processing provides unprecedented insights into 2D and 3D aspects of plant anatomical features and their impact on plant hydraulic function. X-ray tomography scans collected for various organ types (leaf, stem, root) will serve as training datasets to obtain hands-on experience in digital image processing using open source software packages.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Apply fundamental image processing techniques
• Identify software packages for image segmentation and 3-D visualization
• Extract quantitative data from 2D and 3D digital images
• Develop image processing workflows

Course Structure

The course will meet in person to stimulate in-class learning activities. The course will meet once a week (Thursdays from 13:00 to 16:00, ORCH 4072 ). Each weekly session will be divided into three parts: i) Theory and principles, ii) Problem-based learning activities, iii) Group discussions and applications. Personal computer access is required.
