The Leacross Foundation Internship Program is for a summer internship at ROM for female-identifying students, representing a partnership that will build and strengthen the careers of undergraduate scholars while advancing ROM’s position as a premier Canadian research institution. There will be a cohort of five interns, one in Biodiversity, one in Earth and Space (including Climate Change); Fossils; Art & Culture; and Collections Care, and these interns will meet throughout the summer to learn more about the ROM and the different collections and initiatives going on.For the Leacross Foundation Internship, Earth and Space, we are looking for a dynamic individual who could work on describing new meteorites that will be submitted to the Meteoritical Society for official classification. The Earth and Space section within the Department of Natural History maintains a large and constantly growing collection of rare meteorites. Meteorites are crucial to our understanding of the formation of the Solar System. They are the only large, solid material remaining that records, in any detail, the first few tens of millions of years of the Solar System’s birth 4.5 billion years ago. Meteorites are also the samples used to design much of the research instrumentation on robotic missions sent to study asteroidal and planetary bodies, such as the Mars rovers and the OSIRIS-REx mission. Studying the mineralogy of meteorites is also critical in understanding the Earth’s formation. Since we cannot directly sample minerals from deep within the Earth, meteorites from asteroids provide samples of rocky proto-planets, some of which had differentiated iron cores similar to that of our Earth.HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

  • Prepare detailed sample descriptions of meteorites, including weight, size, and macroscopic observations.
  • Work closely with Curators, Collections Technicians, and Collections Specialists to adhere to a schedule for processing multiple samples while maintaining the ability to work independently once guidance has been provided.
  • Assist in the preparation of meteorites for analysis, including cutting samples using a high-precision, low-loss wire saw, polishing, and creating sample mounts.
  • Conduct petrographic work using a microscope to examine the mineralogical composition of meteorites and select analysis targets.
  • Utilize Raman spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Electron Microprobe Analyses (EMPA) as required to characterize meteorites.
  • Learn and apply meteorite characterization schemes, including petrographic grade, weathering grade, and shock state.
  • Maintain accurate records, including photographic, digital, and hard copy documentation of rare samples.
  • Collect and analyze scientific data to classify undescribed meteorites and determine meteorite type.
  • Assist in compiling data and writing a small report on meteorite findings for submission to The Meteoritical Society: International Society for Meteoritics and Planetary Science.
  • Participate in public outreach events as needed, sharing knowledge with diverse audiences.
  • Engage with other Leacross Interns to gain insight into different projects and areas within the institution.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • Completion of at least two (2) years of post-secondary training/education in an Earth Sciences discipline, such as geology, mineralogy, planetary science OR an acceptable equivalent in education and experience.
  • Experience with petrography of either terrestrial or extraterrestrial samples would be a valuable asset.
  • Demonstrated experience in sample imaging, particularly with an aptitude in independent and collaborative work showing a strong attention to detail, is a valuable asset.
  • Familiarity with meteorite classifications and nomenclature would be a valuable asset.
  • Analytical experience on a variety of laboratory instruments, such as a petrographic microscope, Raman spectrometer, electron microscope, or scanning electron microscope, would be an asset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) would be an asset.
