My name is Brendan McDougall and I am a Policy Analyst at Agriculture and Agri-food Canada (AAFC). More specifically, I work for the Supply Management and Livestock Policy Team in the Strategic Policy Branch. Our team is a policy-oriented and issue-driven shop interested in matters related to the long-term sustainable growth of the supply-managed and livestock sectors.
I am writing you as we are currently looking to fill a student position starting in May and lasting for a period of up to 8 months. We are looking for someone who is talented, motivated and interested in a career in policy making within the public service. Our preference would be for candidates to be master’s or late year undergraduate students currently studying in the field of economics, agriculture economics or public policy. Consideration will also be given to interested student candidates from other fields of study.
We are looking for applications to be submitted by March 21, 2021 with interviews to follow in the subsequent weeks. I have written a summary paragraph that can be forwarded along with the attached posters in French and English.
“Agriculture and Agri-food Canada is looking for a creative, focused individual interested in policy work and looking for an exciting and fast-paced work environment for summer/fall 2020.

AAFC’s Strategic Policy Branch is currently seeking an ambitious and energetic student to join its Supply Management and Livestock Policy Division (SMLP).
