Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate awards provide funding for full-time research during the summer in any research area within the Biodiversity Research Centre. Interested students should contact an eligible faculty member to determine whether he/she is able to sponsor the student.
Both foreign and Canadian students will be considered; students must be registered in a bachelor's degree program at UBC or other institution at the time of their application.
To apply, the student should fill out the NSERC USRA application form (on-line version), and the faculty sponsor should fill in NSERC form 202 Part II or else provide the equivalent information. Send application materials by e-mail to admin@biodiversity.ubc.ca by March 15, 2010 (Subject: BRITE undergraduate).
Graduate Students
Students interested in an M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree with a faculty member of the Biodiversity Research Centre should first contact the faculty member with whom they wish to work. Once a potential supervisor has been identified, students should apply through the appropriate department:
The BRITE training program provides partial stipend support to a few graduate students each year. All students applying to work with a BRC faculty member are eligible. To be nominated for a BRITE fellowship, please request that your proposed supervisor send your name and proposed department to the BRC.
Regardless of funding source, graduate students supervised by BRC faculty are considered BRITE affiliates and are eligible for additional opportunities supported by BRITE, including:
Post-doctoral Fellows
The BRITE training program also provides funding for post-doctoral fellows. BRITE post-docs are expected to perform independent research in any area of biodiversity research and are often affiliated with more than one research lab. For more information, please see the post-doc website.
