Dr. K. Bruce Newbold, Professor,
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in the application of GIS and spatial analytical methods to real-world problems, including population migration and health questions are encouraged to apply. Particular research opportunities are currently available related to my research interests linking (i) population migration and commuting behaviour, and (ii) blood donor profiling.

Dr. Allison Williams, Associate Professor, CIHR Research Chair in Gender, Work and Health
Canadian workplaces are faced with the challenge of managing a workforce which is, due to health care restructuring, increasingly expected to provide unpaid caregiving to family members. This research program will examine how sex and gender is manifested in the interface between unpaid caregiving work and paid labour, recognizing that the role strain across these two entities causes ill-health for caregiver employees. In addition to building capacity for research on work and health that accounts for sex and gender, she will work with a range of knowledge users and non-academic collaborators to simultaneously foster the translation of that research into sex and gender sensitive policies and interventions that improve workers' health.
For further information, please contact Dr. Allison Williams at awill@mcmaster.ca or via phone at (905)525-9140, ext. 24334.
I am currently accepting masters (s) and doctoral students (s) and post-doctoral fellows (3) into my research program addressing the gendered aspects of caregiver-employees (2014-2019). PDF applications will be accepted by mail (electronic and hard copy) on an ongoing basis, with the start dates of Sept. 2014 (2 year), Sept. 2016 (2 year) and Sept. 2019 (1 year).

Dr. Niko Yiannakoulias, Assistant Professor
I'm looking for graduate students interested in methodological problems in one of two areas: disease cluster detection and spatial infectious disease modelling. I'm also recruiting graduate students with interest in applied areas, including: child health, child activity and play, active transportation safety and disease surveillance.
