My name is Adriana and I work for the Climate Hub at the UBC Sustainability Initiative. We are currently hiring 5 Graduate Academic Assistants for our Climate Justice Research Collaborative. I was wondering if you’d be able to share this opportunity amongst your graduate networks. I’ve attached an image for easy sharing.

Thank you,

Adriana Laurent
