Employment & Internship Opportunities

Grave systemic barriers exist in the academy for under-represented groups including women, gender-diverse and non-conforming people, Indigenous, racialized or BIPOC, disabled, and 2SLGBTTQIA*. We recognize that many individuals fit within several groups and this intersectionality can further marginalize them. In an effort to address this, CHRR will consciously work to expand and deepen the representation of under-represented groups on our team.

The Student Researcher may also assist with event planning. Student researchers will have the opportunity to participate in human rights workshops/trainings available during the term of the position. The wage for this position is between $19-23/hour depending on education and experience.
