Working with this supervisor

I am accepting inquiries but as a qualitative researcher I do not have access to large grant funding required to support the mandatory graduate student stipend amounts. Therefore, student competitiveness and willingness to apply for tri-council and/or provincial graduate training awards is imperative. I will also consider co-supervisor arrangements where the topic has some fit with my research expertise. 

2025-26 stipend CSM levels

Domestic: MSc $30,000 - $38,000 x 2.5 years; PhD  $32,000 - $40,000 x 5 years

International: MSc $31,000 -  $39,000 x 2.5 years; PhD $33,000 -  $41,000 x 5 years

Please note that students in our faculty cannot be self-funded and must ensure that a supervisor has funding to support them for the length of their degree.
