The Biodiversity Research Centre (BRC) at the University of British Columbia is pleased to host BRITE (Biodiversity Research: Integrative Training and Education), a training program aimed at widening opportunities and skill sets among our students and post-doctoral fellows.
Internship Program
A key element of the BRITE initiative is a paid internship program for MSc and PhD students.
Partner testimonals
BRITE internships are highly valued by both the students and our partners.
Workshops
Workshops are an effective means of training in areas requiring new skills and concentrated attention. BRITE funds workshops on a variety of topics, including workshops focused on particular research areas, on particular research techniques, and/or on professional development.
Postdoctoral Fellows
The BRC provides financial support for post-doctoral fellows conducting original research on core problems in biodiversity.
