Position Summary:
Provide efficient and effective administrative support to the Quebec Inter-university Centre for Social Statistics (QICSS) McGill-Concordia Laboratory and the Centre on Population Dynamics, in accordance with the units’ goals and objectives, while ensuring coherence with the University's mission and culture.
