Join us. Help shape the next generation of research.

We are always looking for talented people who want to do careful, useful science. Applications are open for co-op, graduate and new-graduate positions.

Our aim

Train the next generation.

We help train the next generation of researchers and technicians, in Canada and beyond. Science moves forward when more people learn to do it carefully: a clear question, a documented method and results someone else can check.

Creating good scientific jobs is one of Cedar Kestrel's main goals. Every client project is a chance for a student or a new graduate to do real work, learn the methods and build a career.

Applications are open all year and reviewed on a rolling basis. Positions start as projects and funding allow, and we contact promising applicants as soon as a place opens.
