Université Laval is launching a new Research Chair funded by Sentinel North to analyze the relationship between Inuit and non-Inuit, and the transformations of this relationship over the last decades and years to come.
Projects and chairs funded by Sentinel North can provide opportunities for master's, doctoral and post-doctoral students to pursue their research projects in a dynamic and innovative transdisciplinary setting.
The list below is updated each new session based on the Sentinel North projects posted on Université Laval's Placement Site (SPLA). We also invite you to consult the Research Projects to identify which project(s) that interest you, and to contact the principal investigators for any information request.
Sentinel North aligns with the recommendations of its parent institution for its visual identity. Members of Université Laval can consult the university's standards by accessing the university's visual guides.
Under the leadership of the Sentinel North strategy of Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), the International Arctic Field School provided 30 international and northern students with a unique opportunity to interact with high-profile scientists, local experts and managers as part of a transdisciplinary training program that addresses the complex and interrelated scientific and socio-economic issues linked to the changing Arctic cryosphere.
Under the leadership of the Sentinel North program of Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada), the International Ph.D. School (IPS) provides international students with a unique opportunity to interact with high-profile scientists as part of a transdisciplinary and highly technological training program aiming to demystify the role of light in driving arctic marine food webs, ecosystems services, and human health in the North.
With an approach based on transdisciplinarity and the application of learning in northern or highly technological environments, these training activities provide an opportunity to interact with peers from other disciplines as well as high-profile scientists and experts. The participants also get a chance to learn with world-class research infrastructure.
An international scholarship program is available to international students for an internship in the laboratories of Université Laval researchers participating in research projects funded by Sentinel North's research program. Through this program, Sentinel North seeks to attract new talent, foster the development of young international scientists able to tackle and help resolve complex northern issues, and encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience across borders.
The purpose of this fund is to enable graduate students to attend high-level international schools (training workshops, specialized summer/winter masterclasses) whose topics are aligned with Sentinel North's research program. Recognizing the value of such training, Sentinel North wishes through this program to foster the development of a new generation of young scientists able to tackle and help resolve complex northern issues, and encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience across borders.
