Regular (administrative) Internships: One Position Available
Lakehead University will have one NOHFC administrative-related internship (out of its quota of two administrative-related placements) becoming available in the fall through the NOHFC Northern Ontario Internship Program. The internal deadline for the submission of regular internship applications to the Office of Research (ahacquo1@lakeheadu.ca) is August 6, 2018. If more than one application is received, an internal competition will need to be held to determine which one application will be submitted to the NOHFC. Final decisions will be made by the Executive Team Working Group.
Under the administrative call, preference will be given to applications from Lakehead University administrative units.
