Job Details

McGill’s Integrated Water Resources Management Program (www.mcgill.ca/iwrm) is a one-year, 45-credit non-thesis M.Sc. program.  Its curriculum includes lectured courses, the internship and project (central features of this program), and the Research Visits course which allows students to meet professionals from industry, government agencies, and NGO’s.

We believe this program may be very interesting for your students to consider as it is provides a unique opportunity to study the biophysical, environmental, legal, institutional, and socio-economic aspects of water use and management in an integrated context. Funding for students registered in the program is available through teaching and research assistantships as well certain funded internship positions.

Candidates may have an undergraduate degree from a wide variety of related areas, including: geography, international development studies, sociology, anthropology, mathematics, environmental studies, biology, natural resources management, and engineering, amongst others. Interested candidates can visit our web page for information on applying to the MSc IWRM Program.

The Department of Bioresource Engineering at McGill University offers two unique programs in environmental/water management:

 A 1-year Master of Science in Integrated Water Resources Management (Non-Thesis): 

Providing a unique opportunity to study the biophysical, environmental, legal, institutional, and socio-economic aspects of water use and management in an integrated context.

Candidates may have undergraduate degrees in a wide variety of related areas, including: geography, international development studies, sociology, anthropology, mathematics, environmental studies, biology, natural resources management, and engineering amongst others.

 An 8-week online certification program in Integrated and Adaptive Water Resources Planning, Management & Governance:

Company

leading institute in a series of studies focused on coupling stakeholder built socio-economic system dynamic models with physically-based watershed models to explicitly engage key stakeholders in the development and use of coupled physical-social watershed models, and to explore the feedbacks between the social-economic and physical components in a watershed. Our research focused on a new framework for group model building via system dynamics modeling for participatory and integrated assessment of water policies and strategies, and applied the framework to explore water scarcity, agricultural pollution and groundwater policies and strategies with stakeholder groups in several watersheds in Quebec, Ontario, Cyprus, Pakistan, Hungary, Guatemala, and Germany.
