Location: On campus and remote
Duration: Fall 2025 to March 6, 2026

The goal of this SAP project is to produce a pamphlet corresponding to one section of FYP, spotlighting an issue in the history of gender and sexuality in relation to a core text. This project will be a proof of concept and first step towards the production of a series of pamphlets tying in with each section of FYP.
The student will work closely with Dr. Kirsty Schut (Faculty Fellow) and Miriam MacQuarrie (Interim Sexual Health and Safety Officer) to review the FYP reading list, select a text and issue, conduct literature reviews about historical and modern dimensions of the chosen topic, and draft and design the pamphlet.
Through this project, the student will have an opportunity to practice and enhance their research, communication and design skills. They will gain specific professional experience with sex education and sexual violence prevention.
If interested, please email kirsty.schut@ukings.ca a brief (1-2 paragraph) statement of interest that outlines any relevant experience, and a copy of your transcript.

Hutchinson’s Acres Maple Syrup and community partners are seeking a university student to support legal and policy research focused on advocating for the fair treatment of farmers and sustainable rural development.
This is a fully remote role. The successful candidate must have access to a personal computer and reliable internet. This opportunity is ideal for a student seeking experience in legal research, policy development or advocacy within a community-based context.
King’s students have the opportunity to work in almost every area of university life, and even beyond the university through facilitated internships and fellowships. Typical jobs include peer mentor, fundraising campaign caller, residence junior don, reporter for the communications team, fitness centre attendant and athletics photographer, just to name a few.
If you are looking for an opportunity to work as an assistant to a professor, look for the Student Assistantship Program (SAP) listings at the beginning of fall, winter, and summer term. Successful candidates will be paired with a faculty supervisor to work on a project such as academic research, publication preparation, new course development, journalistic projects, academic and cultural events, outreach, or archival work. These positions are light on hours—just 30h completed over a term, usually according to the student’s preference—so they offer the opportunity to gain career-building academic experience and skills, while making a minimal impact on study time.
Students have the opportunity to work on campus at one of three student-owned and operated businesses: the King’s Co-op Bookstore, the Wardroom (student lounge) and the Galley (coffee shop). Ask at these locations about openings.
King’s also coordinates several funded summer internships and part-time work experiences at external organizations and businesses that will offer students the opportunity to experience for themselves the value of their liberal arts education.
The King’s Undergraduate Fellowships in Public Humanities is an opportunity to do an experiential learning internship at an organization or business that brings the humanities to bear on the world.
The Scotia Scholars Award, funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, is a funded opportunity for two undergraduate students at King’s to be the principal investigator on their own research study in the area of health research.
King’s encourages all student employees to use this workbook as a template for planning, documenting, and reflecting on their work experience. The goal of this document is to help elevate all student work experiences to work-integrated learning, so that students can maximize their personal and professional growth while supported by their university.
