This cohort’s research focus will be ‘the Intersection of Trade, Environment, and Food Security’ and will cover five research papers, webinars, workshops, an advisory council, and professional development over the next two years. CAPI proposes that our next Doctoral Fellowship Program develop expertise, original tools and strategies to identify the pressures on Canada’s land base arising from agricultural producers who are reacting to the new more uncertain trade environment, record high commodity prices, climate change and global food security concerns, by innovating and transforming their decision-making. CAPI aims to create a dynamic, innovative and transdisciplinary research network specializing in this field. The program will run over two years (2022-2024) and will be guided by a mentoring and advisory team of industry, government and academic experts drawn from CAPI’s extensive stakeholder network. CAPI will fund up to four Ph.D. students whose research focuses on either the economic, social, legal or environmental aspect of trade in agriculture and agri-food products, responding to scarcity and the new higher price environment, climate change and global food security concerns both at home and abroad. Each selected researcher will receive $12,000 over 2 years via direct grants, as well as travel costs, as necessary. The outcome of selected projects will contribute to the production of a series of reports by CAPI, which will be published and disseminated broadly to policy makers and various stakeholders.

Elle est titulaire d’un doctorat en sciences politiques de l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique et d’un baccalauréat et d’une maîtrise en sciences politiques de l’Université de l’Alberta. Ses recherches portent sur la façon dont les intérêts organisés dans le secteur agroalimentaire interagissent avec la compétence partagée dont jouissent les gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux du Canada en matière d’agriculture pour façonner l’élaboration de politiques pour le secteur agroalimentaire.

Le Canada, bien qu’il possède d’immenses ressources naturelles, dont 7 % des réserves mondiales d’eau douce, est l’un des pays les plus touchés par les changements climatiques. Le projet étudiera comment le système agroalimentaire du Canada, y compris les secteurs public et privé et la société civile, peut transformer les défis liés à l’eau, comme la rareté, le commerce de l’eau et le rôle de l’eau dans la transformation des aliments, en une possibilité.

Dear Martha, The Government of Manitoba is launching a new paid Data Science internship program. The Data Science Leaders in Training Program is an 18 month paid internship for early career data scientists and data professionals interested in pursuing a career in the public service. This program offers professional experience and training at the intersection of data science and policy, allowing participants to put their data skills to use to positively impact the lives of Manitobans. Skills and knowledge will be developed and enhanced through three challenging work placements, under the guidance and mentorship of senior leaders and data professionals in the organization, and a variety of opportunities for classroom and hands-on training. Interns will contribute to the development of evidence-informed policies and decisions that support government priorities by working on exciting data projects that span multiple domains and datasets. This program offers exposure to data not available in any other sector, and an opportunity to leverage data science techniques in the service of Manitobans. We invite you to circulate this opportunity to the students in your department. We invite anyone interested in learning more about the program to join us for a virtual 30-minute information session on Friday September 9th at 12:00 PM Central Time by clicking this link: Data Science Leaders in Training Program Information Session<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWY4NjEzOGQtMjFiYS00…>.
