Applicants will work directly on a cluster randomized trial of workplace wellness programs.

The successful candidate(s) will, as part of a Mitacs/Sun Life funded internship, engage with business organizations participating in the study.

Note: This is a one year appointment, subject to budget approval. Contract may be extended contingent upon research performance.
