- Good ability in synthesizing complex datasets into writing pieces catered to the general public;
- Knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods will be considered an asset;
- Strong teamwork and collaborative skills, ability to adapt, innovate, work in a fast-paced environment, and good interpersonal skills.

- Work with the Foundation's research team on collecting and analyzing information on Canada-South Asia relations;
- Work with the Foundation's research team in collecting and analyzing sub-national level data on sustainability and ESG-related events and developments in South Asia;
- Actively collect, analyze, and write event summaries for the CAST tool;
- Contribute regularly to APF Canada's Asia Watch newsletter;
- Assist with other duties as assigned in support of APF Canada.

The Junior Research Scholar will ideally report out of Vancouver, BC, partly remotely and partly from APF Canada's head office in downtown Vancouver, Monday to Friday, during regular office hours for five days a week.
