SORC offers junior investigator positions on an as-needed basis, tied to specific projects. Positions are designed for trainees early in their research training, typically those completing a first undergraduate degree with little to no prior research experience. No publications or lab background are required. SORC exists in part to provide a first substantive research experience to those who would not otherwise have one.
Selected junior investigators contribute to real projects from inception through to submission, with authorship commensurate with contribution and governed by our authorship and collaboration standards. There are no costs to applicants at any stage. When a project is open to junior investigators, it will be listed below with a description of the work and what is expected. To express interest in a current or future opening, send a CV and brief letter of interest to info@sorc.ca.
