A note on joining the research group
We welcome applicants of all genders, races, sexualities, religions, those with disabilities and neurodivergence, those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and those with family obligations.
We recognize the land we work on is located in traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory. Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Indigenous Peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.
Joining as a graduate student (MSc or PhD)
If interested, please reach out to Prof. Schneider by email (stephanie.schneider@uleth.ca) with your resume, residency status, and interests, including why you want to pursue graduate studies in this specific research group. Please note that I receive a high number of requests that appear to be generated via AI, and are quite generic and impersonal. I will not respond to such inquires.
Please read through the following resources, or with specific questions related to graduate studies at U of L:

Joining as a undergraduate student
Undergraduate positions exist through the Independent Study (IS) courses (Chemistry 2990, 3990 and 4990). Please reach out by email at least one month before the suggested course term. Please note final decisions regarding IS position availability occur three months before the start of term, so ensure you reach out before then to guarantee consideration for available spots. After that date, applications will only be considered if there are remaining spots, on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Undergraduate positions are also available for the summer, through the IS courses, or through other summer programs (i.e., NSERC, Chinook)
Please reach out in early Winter semester to inquire about summer positions.
4th+ year students with a high GPA may complete a 6-credit Honors Thesis (Chemistry 4995) in their last year. Please reach out near the end of the Winter semester of your 3rd year if this is of interest.
