Recruitment Schedule

Western Science now has a continuous recruiting cycle. We encourage you to post your job by January and hire in February for a May or September start. We will gladly accept job postings, arrange interviews, and extend job offers until August each year.

Actuarial Science Recruitment

Postings for Actuarial Science recruitment will close no earlier than September 30, 2023. This will give students adequate time to apply to positions after enrolling in the Science Internship Program in the first few weeks of September. Postings will go-live to students well in advance of this closing date. The continuous interview, offer and acceptance period for Actuarial Science interns will begin in October 2023.
