Position Summary:
McGill University’s School of Continuing Studies is welcoming applications for Post-doctoral Researcher position. The selected post-doctoral researcher will join the research group for a period of one year. Full compensations and benefits are provided.
We seek applications from early-career researchers of all regions of Canada interested in pursuing a post-doctoral research project related to access to justice for official language minority communities in Canada. Researchers may come from a wide variety of fields, including law, sociology, linguistics, political sciences, education, economy, social work, anthropology, etc.
About the research group Activator:
The successful candidate will join a newly formed research group (the “Activator”) on access to justice for official language minority communities (OLMCs) in Canada. “Access to justice for OLMCs in Canada” refers to the capacity of individuals and communities whose first official language is not that of the majority population in their province or territory (i.e., Francophones outside Quebec and Anglophones in Quebec) to understand, use, and fully participate in the justice system in their own language. This area of research explores the legal, institutional, sociolinguistic, and policy-related dimensions that affect equitable treatment, linguistic rights, legal service delivery, and systemic inclusion of OLMCs within Canada’s bilingual framework. It encompasses issues of language rights, service accessibility, quality and training of legal professionals, as well as the broader sociopolitical dynamics of legal empowerment, marginalization, and systemic inequality.
Working in close collaboration with the Access to Justice stakeholders (Justice departments, lawyers’ societies and other professionals’ associations, institutional and educational organizations, jurilinguistics centres, other research groups and stakeholders), the Activator’s objectives are:
