The ArcticNet-funded project, “Moving from understanding to action on food security in Inuit Nunangat” and the Northern Contaminants Program-funded project, “The role of culture, health messaging, conservation management, and Inuit knowledge in country food access, preferences, and decisionmaking” (CHOICES), invite applications for two Post-Doctoral Fellow positions.

These Postdoctoral Fellowships will be an opportunity to:   

• Use quantitative and qualitative health research methods to analyze existing datasets;
• Identify important determinants of food insecurity and nutritional health in Arctic communities;
• Explore the diverse socio-cultural factors contributing to food access, preferences, and decision-making.

These are 1-year Postdoctoral Fellowships with the opportunity to extend for an additional year and are currently available to begin as soon as possible. The candidates who are awarded these positions will be based at the University of Victoria (although remote work is possible) and supervised by Dr. Matthew Little with additional oversight from collaborators Drs. Tiff-Annie Kenny, Mélanie Lemire, Pierre Ayotte, Chris Furgal, and regional partners.
