Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Decolonization, and Indigeneity (EDIDI)

The NanoACE group is committed to fostering an inclusive working and learning environment and to the diversification of ideas and perspectives. The group endeavours to create an environment in which all will feel comfortable, safe, supported, and free to speak their minds and pursue their research interests. We seek prospective group members who share our commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and Indigenization (EDIDI). We especially encourage prospective members from Indigenous persons, persons of Black/African descent, members of other racialized groups, persons with disabilities, women, nonbinary and gender-diverse persons, as well as persons identifying as members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Due to this, we request that all prospective members provide a short (1-2 paragraph) statement on their commitment to EDIDI and how they can contribute towards building a diverse research team.
