Whether you’re following the work, exploring a collaboration, or looking for ways to engage with the lab, this page is a good place to start.
Student, internship, volunteer, and employment opportunities are shared here as they become available. We receive more interest than we can respond to individually, so opportunities are posted publicly so everyone has the same access. In the meantime, take a look at “Is this you?” below to get a feel for how we work and whether your approach aligns with the lab.
We anticipate posting student opportunities for the 2027 intake after October 15, 2026. We know that timing may not align with some international student intake timelines.
As we continue refining our processes, we hope to share future opportunities earlier in the cycle.
If you’re reaching out about a research idea, community partnership, media, speaking, or another connection to the lab, we’d be glad to hear from you. Tell us a little about what you have in mind and we’ll get back to you.
Looking for supervision or a role with the lab? The Lab Opportunities section above has the latest intake information.
We've got your note and will be in touch within 5–7 business days. In the meantime, take a look around.
People come to this work through many doors — community, clinic, classroom, lived experience, or some weave of all four. There's no single mold. But certain orientations feel like home here.
You hold your work to your own bar before it reaches anyone else. By the time we see something, you've already read it through your own eyes and tightened what needed tightening. In our work, what gets shared with communities and partners matters — and the standard starts with you.
Equity Science Lab · 2026You don't wait to be assigned what's already obvious. You notice the unglamorous parts — the follow-up email, the missing voice in the room, the loose thread — and you handle them without being asked twice.
Equity Science Lab · 2026We take the work seriously. Ourselves, not so much. Joy and playfulness aren't the opposite of rigour — the evidence (and our experience) says they're part of how good work actually gets done.
Equity Science Lab · 2026Your standard doesn't shift based on who's watching. The trust we build with communities depends on consistency — small things, done well, over time — and that's how you already work.
Equity Science Lab · 2026Things won't always land the way you hoped, and not every problem comes with an answer. Either way, you take the lesson, name what you see, and bring the next move with you. Not "what should I do?" — but "here's what I'm working with, here's what I'd try, here's where I'd want to think it through together."
Equity Science Lab · 2026What you bring shifts what feels possible — not by pushing harder, but by what your work makes thinkable for the rest of us. Standards that felt aspirational start feeling like the baseline.
Equity Science Lab · 2026When roles open, they’ll be posted in the Lab Opportunities section above. That’s where we’ll share the details on what we’re looking for and how to apply.
