    Interested in applying for a NSERC USRA? 

    If you are interested in paid summer research opportunities in the Department of Biology, you should consider applying for an Undergraduate Summer Research Assistantship (USRA). To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following requirements:

    • be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or a Protected Person under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada);
    • be registered, at the time they apply, in a bachelor's degree program at an eligible university; and
    • have obtained, over the previous years of study, a cumulative average of at least second class (a grade of “B-”).

    Before applying we recommend that you speak with a potential Biology faculty supervisor.
