Announcements
I am recruiting Graduate students interested in transport planning research with skills in GIS, data analysis, and policy development - fully funded positions – to start their studies in Fall 2023.
Students interested in pursuing either a Masters in Geography or a PhD in Planning at University of Alberta are encouraged to explore funded research opportunities within the Moving Transport Forward research group.
This is an exciting opportunity to work as a graduate student on Phase 2 of our project related to understanding & responding to women’s travel needs. If you have a strong grasp of data analytics and aspire to develop policy for equitable public transit systems, please apply to work with our team (including project collaborators Genevieve Boisjoly from Polytechnique Montréal and David Cooper from Leading Mobility.
Please read more about all available opportunities here: https://lnkd.in/gAZdCvvx
Students with a background in urban planning, civil engineering, geography or a related field are encouraged to apply. However, students with strong interest in transportation planning and policy with relevant skills from varied educational backgrounds are also encouraged to apply.
