We strive for productive, rich and equitable relationships as outlined in our Researcher-Professor Agreement.

And we strive to be a diverse and inclusive group. We encourage applications and partnerships from underrepresented groups including women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. While physical mobility and visual acuity are useful for some of our field-based research, they are by no means requirements to be a good researcher or a valuable member of our team.  I encourage all interested students, regardless of physical ability, to consider a career in research and to get in touch. We acknowledge and respect the Lekwungen-speaking people on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt, and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
