Opportunities for Graduate Students

Dr. Heidi-Lynn Ploeg provides an incredible learning environment in the Q-BJB Lab for graduate students pursuing a master's of applied science (MASc) or doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree at Queen's University.

Dr. Ploeg received the Award for Excellence in Graduate Supervision at Queen's University! (2024)

"The Award for Excellence in Graduate Student Supervision recognizes supervisors who demonstrate outstanding excellence in advising, monitoring, and mentoring graduate students. Excellence is judged on the quality of supervision and mentorship in facilitating the acquisition of skills and resources needed for students to succeed as scholars and professionals. The criteria for the award reflect supervisors who inspire students to push scholarly boundaries, pursue their career and academic goals, offer quality feedback and guidance, and broadly support a culture of supervisory excellence within their school/faculty and/or university. Preference is given to faculty members who have displayed sustained mentorship activity over many years."
