Second Century Commission

Position Summary

Siobhan Harty, Slater Family Visiting Scholar at the Max Bell School of Public Policy and Research Director for the Second Century Commission, is seeking one Research Assistant (RA) to support the work of the Commission. The Second Century Commission (Second Century Commission on Canada–US Relations) is a binational initiative focused on Canada–U.S. relations for the second century of formal diplomatic relations beginning in 2026. Under the leadership of co-chairs Lisa Raitt and Jane Harman, the binational Commission will bring together approximately twenty prominent Canadians and Americans to develop a forward-looking agenda for relations between the two countries. Commissioners include former Cabinet members, governors, provincial premiers, leading business executives, leaders in philanthropy, experts in AI and digital technology, defence and security leaders, among others. The Commission is led by the Max Bell School, the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and the Centre for International Governance Innovation. Following the first in-person meeting of Commissioners in Baltimore on October 21, the Commission will continue to meet over the next year to deliberate on policy recommendations and develop a report for policy makers in Canada and the United States. Commissioners are supported by expert research papers and other analysis and engagement activities. The RA will help organize the meetings of the Commissioners, support the Research Director to manage the production of research papers, conduct research to support the Commission as required and play an integral role in shaping the Youth Assembly.

Maintain a monthly list of reading materials for the Commissioners.

Conduct research as required to support the Commissioners, for public use on the Commission’s website and other outputs.

Highly organized, pays attention to details and is able to track deliverables.

Interest in Canada-US relations and the major policy areas shaping the relationship.

Comfortable researching contemporary and historical issues using a range of tools and sources.

Careful attention to sourcing, nuance, accuracy, and competing interpretations.

Ability to organize research systematically and work independently.

Experience with academic databases, citation management, and responsible use of AI-supported research tools is an asset.
