Details

This project will begin following a kick-off meeting and orientation for all student-hires.

The Antarctic Institute of Canada (AIC) is a non-profit organization that conducts research activities, academic mentorship programs, and equity building through a variety of government-funded work initiatives for undergraduate and graduate students.

The AIC is seeking post-secondary students currently enrolled in a post-secondary program to author a variety of texts for publication. Topics and guidelines will be determined following the kick-off meeting.

Deliverables

To achieve the project goal, students must attend the kick-off meeting for clear guidelines and expectations. They will be required to select or be assigned a specific topic, followed by thorough research on the subject matter. Participants will produce a finalised deliverable of a minimum 4500 words. Your work will need to be uploaded to the Riipen platform in PDF format and uploaded in the google drive in the Central Working Document provided to you at the start of the project. Continuous communication with the AIC team for feedback and guidance is essential throughout the process.

Education

The Antarctic Institute of Canada is a non-profit Canadian charity organization founded by former Antarctic researcher Austin Mardon in 1985. Its original aim was to lobby for the federal government of Canada to increase the extent of Canadian research in the Antarctic. However, AIC slowly diversified and initiated programs for students to publish Antarctic research in newspapers and academic journals. These days, the AIC supports academic writing, research, and multimedia in many fields, expanding far beyond the organizationโ€™s original focus on Antarctica.
