MSc position in Summerland, BC

Standard

I am reaching out because I am wondering if you would be able to disseminate this information around to the faculty (particularly undergraduates). I am looking for an MSc student based out of Summerland, BC to work on a project that is centered around characterization of bacteriophage receptors. Additionally, the student must be able to enroll within an MSc degree program in LFS.

They must apply here: https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page1800?toggleLanguage=en&poster=1575445

Closing date is in one week (says today on the website, but I recently had it extended).

Many thanks Lia!
