This diagnosis of crisis exists despite several international and national policy efforts that have explicitly proposed redressive measures. A postdoctoral fellow is needed for two years to critically examine the current scenario to investigate processes that sustain automobility on the street and through a consultative process, build transnational networks and expertise, which will further mobilization for an equitable and sustainable mobility transition. The successful candidate will be expected to accomplish three objectives – conduct an in-depth qualitative study of recent mobility efforts in selected megacities in Asia and/or in other regions of the global South, engage different stakeholder perspectives, and advance equity and sustainability through network development. The candidate must be familiar with urban mobility in Asian and/or other Southern contexts, related policy initiatives, and must have demonstrable experience in contributing to urban mobility scholarship in terms of conference papers and/or journal articles. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif'>The selected PDF will have the opportunity to work closely on this research project with a research team led by <a href="https://www.concordia.ca/faculty/govind-gopakumar.html" target="_blank" title="https://www.concordia.ca/faculty/govind-gopakumar.html">Govind Gopakumar</a>, <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/urbanplanning/people-0/badami" target="_blank" title="https://www.mcgill.ca/urbanplanning/people-0/badami">Madhav Badami</a>, <a href="https://www.concordia.ca/faculty/craig-townsend.html" target="_blank" title="https://www.concordia.ca/faculty/craig-townsend.html">Craig Townsend</a>, <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/geography/people-0/turner" target="_blank" title="https://www.mcgill.ca/geography/people-0/turner">Sarah Turner</a> and <a href="https://crdf.org.in/people/rutul-joshi" target="_blank" title="https://crdf.org.in/people/rutul-joshi">Rutul Joshi</a>, a group of scholars interested in the politics, policies, and plans that govern how Asian cities move. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif'>Candidates are encouraged to contact Govind Gopakumar before applying.
