All graduate students and PostDocs, diploma students, Trainees, and Research Assistants in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) department at McGill University are represented and given a voice by the Council of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (CAOS).
Through the council executive members, it advocates for students in student-related academic and administrative issues, works to improve students working conditions and addresses problems and difficulties. It supports students throughout their academic life in the AOS department and strives to improve students life.
To this end, CAOS organizes activities such as yearly summer barbecues and Christmas parties, game nights throughout the year and weekly coffee times and fortnightly happy-hour Get2Gethers. Furthermore, it promotes events like the departmental seminar series and Post-Graduate Students Society (PGSS) courses and invitations among its members.
As an officially recognized, autonomous student group of the PGSS of McGill University, the CAOS acts as a liaison with the association of all graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at McGill
Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (GPS) is launching the Doctoral Internship Program to offer McGill’s doctoral students at the end of their degree the opportunity to learn and grow outside of academia through a 3-month remunerated internship. Applications are to be submitted online.
