The University of Guelph is offering two paid research positions in Professor Melissa MacKay's lab for the summer of 2026. The research focuses on how women’s hormonal health is discussed on social media, making it ideal for students interested in health communication, digital media, and public health. The graduate-level position involves leading the project’s sampling and coding strategy, conducting content analysis, assessing reliability, supporting manuscript development, and mentoring the undergraduate research assistant. The undergraduate position is open to University of Guelph students and will support the same project.

Both positions run from May to August 2026 and are well-suited for individuals who enjoy structured and collaborative research environments. The graduate position is particularly relevant for those with interests in health communication, digital media research, and content analysis. Applicants should have or be eligible for graduate studies at the University of Guelph, with experience in content analysis and manuscript development considered an asset. The undergraduate position is available through Experience Guelph.

For more information or to apply for the graduate-level position, contact Professor Melissa MacKay at [email protected]. Undergraduate students should refer to the Experience Guelph portal for application details. Both positions are paid, though specific funding amounts are not provided.
