You are eligible for this Research Affiliate Program (RAP) if you meet these 3 requirements:
(1) you are a full-time student in a post-secondary institution
(2) you are enrolled in an academic program that requires research as part of your curriculum
(3) you meet the minimum age required in the province/territory of work
This includes students with physical or emotional disabilities deemed to have full-time status by their academic institution. Adult students registered in education and retraining programs at the secondary level may also be eligible for student employment programs.
Before proceeding to the application step, prospective applicants are encouraged to carefully review this poster in it's entirely, including the information and video in the two links in the header of the poster. Likewise, candidates are encouraged to ensure that all the information in their applicant profile is complete and current (e.g., residence address(es), employment address(es), citizenship, education, email address(es), etc.).
The successful candidate will be expected to perform and analyze data from laboratory-based experiments investigating the reactions of organic chemicals of emerging concern, as part of a funded collaboration between the Air Quality Research Division (AQRD) and the University of Toronto.
The candidate will perform oxidation experiments using oxidation flow reactors and chambers coupled to mass spectrometry instruments, apply statistical methods to observational data, use visualization tools and prepare scientific data products, and report in writing and orally on results from analyses.
The overall aim of the research is to provide to new information on the chemical composition and atmospheric prevalence of oxidation products derived from chemicals of emerging concern including, but not limited to Bisphenol-A alternatives.
The work is expected to form part of the Ph.D. studies of the successful candidate.
The work will be done in collaboration with Professor Jonathan Abbatt of the University of Toronto.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is a science-based department, and we provide the science and technology information needed so that Canadians can make informed decisions about the environment. In addition, Environment and Climate Change Canada's science and technology work helps us to protect and conserve our air, water, wildlife and spaces.
The selected student will conduct work mainly at the Environment and Climate Change Canada Downsview facility (4905 Dufferin St, Toronto), in the laboratories of the Air Quality Processes Research Section under the guidance and supervision of a scientific research team.
Occasional work may be performed at the University of Toronto.
