Concordia University is seeking motivated graduate students (MA and PhD) to join interdisciplinary research teams led by Assistant Professor Rachel Weldrick. The research program focuses on the intersections of aging and public policy, housing and homelessness, supportive environments, neighbourhoods, place-based policy, spatial justice, social inclusion and exclusion, and community wellbeing. Students with backgrounds in Political Science, Public Policy, Sociology, Gerontology, Urban Studies, Geography, Social Work, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Professor Weldrick's research is highly interdisciplinary, blending qualitative, participatory, and multi-method approaches, and often involves collaboration with community partners and lived experts. Graduate students will have opportunities to join active project teams, contribute to ongoing work and grants, and develop their own lines of inquiry within broader interdisciplinary agendas. Applicants should be considering graduate school for Fall 2026 or future cycles. The primary departments for application are Political Science and related fields. Concordia University offers substantial funding opportunities for PhD students, including grants and paid internships for master's students in public policy and public administration. The university is located in Montréal, a vibrant and diverse city, providing an excellent environment for academic and personal growth.
