The Beaverlodge Research Farm employs continuing high school and post-secondary students to support research and train new agricultural professionals. We use three student hiring streams:
- Federal Student Work Employment Program (FSWEP) – an online application process (have resume ready to attach) that all federal departments use to seek students. Access that link here: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/jobs/services/recruitment/students/federal-student-work-program.html
- COOP/Internship Student Programs – Universities often have COOP or Internship programs. Students enrolled with a nationally accredited program should contact us directly with a resume.
- Research Affiliate Program – also an online application process specific to our site but applicants must complete an online application as seasonal Government of Canada job postings become available. It's best to contact us directly with a resume.
Students interested in working in a specific research program at AAFC-Beaverlodge are encouraged to e-mail a resume and an expression of interest to:
Insect Pest Management Program - Jennifer.Otani@canada.ca
Agronomy & Crop Adaptation Program - Greg.Semach@canada.ca
Important – Dates to keep in mind: Candidate lists can be pulled for screening at any point. Because field research is our focus, most students are hired for May start dates. Here are the important dates to target if you are applying:
December 15 - Complete FSWEP application and send resume if seeking a May start date.
September 15 - Complete FSWEP application and send resume if seeking a January start date.
May 15 - Complete FSWEP application and send resume if seeking a September start date.
