The Automotive Policy Research Centre (APRC) is a network of academic researchers, industry partners, and policy-makers that studies the role of public policy in supporting Canada’s globally competitive automotive industry. We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow with a PhD (at the time of writing) in the social sciences, business, engineering, or any policy-related field. Working under the supervision of APRC Principal Investigator Dr. Charlotte Yates and Dr. Greig Mordue at McMaster University, the ideal candidate will be responsible for leading a project that examines the implementation of new production technologies (e.g. Industry 4.0) in Canada’s automotive industry. This is a topic that industry stakeholders and policy-makers have identified as critical to the competitiveness of Canada’s automotive industry moving forward.
In addition to a PhD, the ideal candidate will have an interest in public policy, manufacturing, and have developed strong qualitative and quantitative research skills in their graduate studies and/or early career work. They will be expected to develop networks with industry stakeholders and policy-makers during the conception, research design, data collection, and dissemination phases of the research.
The position is for one year beginning September 1, 2018. The salary will be competitive and includes benefits (for more information on benefits and working as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at McMaster see https://cupe3906.org/postdocs-unit-3/).
