I am interested in working with BIPOC and LGBTQ2+ students and strive to form a supportive and uplifting research environment. I am interested in working with Indigenous students and would be curious to engage in two-eyed seeing research.
I am no longer looking for PhD and Master's students for 2022/2023.
Students must have at the very least a minor in Statistics or equivalent if entering a Master's program or an MSc in Statistics or equivalent if entering a PhD program. If you are interested in working with me, please email me at lcowen (a t) uvic.ca and include 1) Your CV 2) Your unofficial transcripts 3) A brief statement outlining why you want to join us.
I have some interesting projects suitable for undergraduate students. If you are a strong upper-level undergraduate student looking for research opportunities, come talk to me!

Funding
Domestic and Indigenous students should apply for NSERC Post-Graduate Scholarships. There are due October 1 for PhD students and December 1 for MSc students. A first step towards this application is creating a CV using the Canadian Common CV.
Indigenous students have access to scholarships through AISES.
WWest maintains a list of scholarships open to various students but largely for women in STEM. Another list is provided here.
