ACHRI Research Trainees

As a research institute, ACHRI focuses not only on providing a sound research environment to its members, but also on creating innovative training initiatives to enhance the educational and research training experience at UCalgary and ACHRI.

Welcome Trainees!

ACHRI’s Research Training Platform offers training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral fellows within a theme structure that spans a broad spectrum of research domains within child and maternal health, from basic research to clinical and population health science.

ACHRI members supervise students who are enrolled in a number of different programs at UCalgary, as well as postdoctoral trainees registered with the UCalgary postdoc office. Future trainees -- both students and postdoctoral fellows -- are encouraged to contact potential supervisors about available training/research positions and projects.

Current Trainees

ACHRI strongly believes that investing in our trainees and supporting them in their research careers ultimately translates into support for the future of child health research.
