Is the Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) running this year? |
|
Yes, the program is running for summer 2023. |
I am in my Master’s program. Am I eligible to apply? |
|
Unfortunately, no. This program is for undergraduate students only. |
Are international students able to apply? |
|
You must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or foreign national. Out-of-province and international applicants are welcome to apply but please note the proper work/student permit and a Social Insurance Number from Service Canada is required. |
Are the positions paid or unpaid? Can I apply as a volunteer? |
|
The program offers paid positions. If you would prefer to volunteer your time, please contact SSRP@williamoslerhs.ca. |
Will I need a proof of immunization? |
|
As per Osler policy, all summer students are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. During onboarding, a proof of other immunizations will be asked too including: Tuberculosis status, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, Hepatitis B and Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis. |
Am I able to work remotely? |
| The expectation is that you will be available to be onsite but ultimately it is at the discretion of the researcher if some of the work can be done remotely. |
I will not have my present year marks before the deadline for application. May I send my marks from the previous year? |
|
If you do not have a transcript from your current year, one from your previous year would be acceptable (e.g. you are in third year but sent second year marks). |
When will I hear back from the program? |
|
Due to the number of applications we receive each year, only those who are selected for an interview will be contacted. |
Will I be able to pick a study project? |
|
The researcher and summer students profiles will be matched by the SSRP based on the project requirements and students skills. |
How can I give feedback about the SSRP? |
|
At the end of the program you will be provided with a link to the feedback survey, which can be used to provide feedback about the SSRP. |
