I am looking for students interested in joining my research program on rural livelihoods, poverty and environment in the Peruvian Amazon. This program seeks to understand how rural peoples make a living within the context of environmental and socioeconomic change, and to explain the spatial and social distribution of poverty. Possible themes include: river dynamics and livelihoods; greater access to affordable motors and cell phones and their implications for labor, marketing and finance; covid-19; social networks (e.g., religion, sports, kinship), livelihoods and resilience; small Amazonian towns and their role in the regional economy; floodplain agriculture and/or fisheries. Inquiries from motivated students with a suitable academic background, an interest in field-based work, Spanish proficiency and prior research/travel experience in Latin America are strongly encouraged, as are students with experience with field experiments or social networks. Students will be expected to seek additional external funding opportunities. Individuals with a broader interest on cultural/political ecology, rural livelihoods in Latin America should also feel free to contact me. Please include a brief research statement, cv, and transcripts. For more details see the Peruvian Amazon Rural Livelihoods (PARLAP) site at: https://parlap.geog.mcgill.ca/

I welcome students that are interested to work in areas related to economic geography, such as the following: I. Interregional Inequality and Regional Development: Quickly increasing inequality causes concern and drives populism. This research hypothesizes that regional development depends on the ability to mobilize resources and networks across different spatial scales. II. Knowledge Generation over Distance: This research is based on the assumption that the competitiveness of firms depends on their ability to engage in creating and circulating knowledge both within and beyond their regional environment. III. Cluster Evolution and Institutional Change: This research is interested in (i) processes of how clusters emerge, (ii) the consequences of institutional change for cluster dynamics, (iii) the impact of cross-cluster networks.

These deposits provide important archives of Pleistocene interglacial and interstadial environments and we are using them to better understand ice sheet dynamics, climate forcing, peatland dynamics and carbon cycling through the Quaternary ice ages. Applicants must have an MSc in Quaternary science (or related discipline) with expertise in geochronology, Quaternary stratigraphy, Quaternary paleoclimate, and/or proxy-based reconstructions using pollen or other microfossils. The incumbent must also be comfortable with field work in remote regions, lab work for sediment processing, and be willing to learn skills for quantitative analyses of resulting datasets using multivariate and spatial statistics.

I welcome excellent students who are interested in the politics of land and natural resource access in the Global South. It is expected that students will also bring an interest in feminist geography, international development, Indigenous and Afrodescendant rights and/or political ecology. Prospective students will be expected to assist with my own research projects: Residential Tourism in Panama, Land Registration and Land Conflict in Latin America, and the Politics of Biodiversity Conservation. Through these opportunities students will advance skills in a variety of qualitative research methodologies and methods (ethnography, oral histories, discourse analysis, digital archival inquiry), writing for publication and public scholarly engagement.

I am recruiting PhD and MSc students to carry out research on topics related to paleoenvironmental change. Past and current students in my group (UTM Paleolab) have specialised in reconstructing past changes from natural proxies preserved in tree-rings, biomarkers, ice-rich permafrost, and geochemical signatures. Most of this work is based in areas of N.W. Canada and Alaska. Please explore my website to learn more about recent projects and publications (https://utmpaleolab.wordpress.com). If this type of work interests you, please contact me to discuss potential projects and include a brief statement of your research interests and CV.

I invite applications from masters and doctoral students interested in research that intersects planning/geography with disability studies and/or childhood studies. In particular, I welcome applications from those interested in the following four areas:

1. Education Access – e.g., studies concerning school travel planning, student transport service design, and school site design.
2. Inclusive Play – e.g., studies concerning inclusive playground designs and experiences, park space planning, and child/youth engagement in planning.
3. Transport Planning and Design – e.g., studies focused on understanding and/or improving how people with disabilities experience access and inclusion during air travel, public transit, pedestrian travel, or medical trips.
4. Institutional Ableism – e.g., studies that inquire into institutional values, practices and processes with a view to identifying and addressing any inherent ableism.

I am recruiting MA and PhD students for a new research project on alternative approaches to ecological restoration. The project entitled, “Ecologies of Care: Forest Landscape Restoration in India” examines social and ecological outcomes of state-led afforestation programs in India and ongoing community-based and citizen-led approaches to ecological nurturance. While, my ideal student would be someone who is already embedded in activist-academic networks on Indigenous rights and environmental justice in India, I am equally enthusiastic about working with students who wish to explore decolonization of nature-people relations, alternatives to neoliberal conservation, revival of the commons, ecological care and affective ecologies in other parts of the world.

I am actively recruiting students with an interest in the application of new institutionalism to comparative planning and urban studies. In particular, a focus on the way institutions (defined as ‘the rules of the game’, or ‘shared norms and enforceable rules’) change, and are changed, and how they regulate processes of urban development.

I welcome PhD in Planning applicants interested in three broad areas: (i) The role that politics, planning and policy play in conditioning the viability of alternative economic forms at multiple spatial scales, from the city-region to the transnational, across the Global North. These community-oriented, social and solidarity economy alternatives may include enterprise models such as cooperatives, industrial foundations, special purpose trusts (e.g. data trusts, land trusts) and innovative non-hierarchical or non-profit networked forms in the high-tech sector. (ii) Political implications of rising inter-urban/regional economic inequality, polarization, and populism in rich democracies. (iii) Links between community development, economic development, and sexual and gender diversity.

Prof. Wells is seeking a Masters student for a project on the physical limnology of Lake Simcoe. The project will investigate the dissolved oxygen dynamics in waters of Lake Simcoe, specifically how physical mixing processes determine the levels of dissolved oxygen that are important for viable fish habitats. As the project will involve significant analysis of new field data, the student should ideally have a strong quantitive background and knowledge of limnology or oceanography.
