QUALIFICATIONS

Educational Requirements

Must have an undergraduate or Master’s degree in planning. Given the position’s focus on planning ethics and professional planning practice in Canada, preference will be given to candidates with an accredited planning degree from a Canadian institution.

Description of Qualifications

The GRA should have ongoing or prior experience with planning ethics, as a researcher and/or planning practitioner. The successful candidate will also have strong interests in planning theory and pedagogy, and possess excellent skills for gathering, distilling, synthesizing and critically analyzing literature. They must also be familiar with research tools for managing, cataloguing and making notes on sources (e.g. Zotero). The GRA is required to be on-campus while holding the position and available to meet with Dr. Barry in person as required.

Course Specific Requirements

The successful candidate will have completed graduate-level coursework in planning theory. The GRA will also have coursework or have equivalent experience with the ethical dimensions of one or more of the following contemporary planning challenges: reconciliation, AI and climate justice. Lived experience of navigating these ethical issues in a professional planning context (i.e. through prior employment or internship experience) would also be an asset, as would undergraduate or graduate coursework (or equivalent training) in moral philosophy and/or applied ethics.

Compensation: $58.46 / hour, plus 4% vacation pay (GRA – Doctoral)
