Research opportunities:
I am currently looking for individuals interested in pursuing PhD studies in transportation. Several PhD positions will be available as part of a research project evaluating the impact of a new light rail project (REM) in Montreal, starting in Fall 2025. Candidates should have experience in data analysis, geospatial analysis and a background in transportation studies. Interested candidates should send a preliminary e-mail to Mathew Page at mathew.page [at] mcgill.ca no later than听November 30, 2024, with a brief description of their interest and qualifications. The e-mail should include a CV, names of two references, and an unofficial transcript of all previous coursework.Please contact me if you have the relevant experience and interest in this topic.
