Ontario Forest Research Institute - Top FAQ

OFRI researchers do have opportunities for internships or student placements from time to time. Your best bet is to visit the OFRI People page, determine which scientists you are most interested in working with, and contact them directly. Keep in mind that you will likely not be paid for your time and or costs to move to Sault Ste. Marie and that your academic institution will likely have to sign a placement agreement with OFRI. If you live in another country, also keep in mind that you will likely be working in the forest, which may present you with unfamiliar challenges (very remote locations that are far from services, biting insects, bears, etc.).

OFRI publishes an annual newsletter called Insights, which updates readers on projects, research advances, publications, staff news, and more. OFRI also regularly sends out a brief e-newsletter to those on a special distribution list. If you’d like to get on the mailing list for Insights and/or to receive the e-newsletters, send your name, job title, organization name, and e-mail address to information.ofri@ontario.ca. Visit OFRI's Publications page to download past issues of Insights.
