About MRU

Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009.  Mount Royal has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust arts liberal education and unique undergraduate programs. Currently, more than 15,000 credit students choose from 13 bachelor degrees and 38 majors.

Mount Royal University provides exceptional teaching, personalized learning and a strong foundation of general education. We are striving to become one of Canada’s top destinations for undergraduate studies in one of Canada’s largest cities. Calgary is located in less than a one-hour drive from the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains. The city brings a mix of dynamic city energy, cheerful western  hospitality, and wondrous natural beauty.

Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis,” which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.

Mount Royal University is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In support of our belief that diversity in our faculty and staff enriches the work, learning and research experiences for the entire campus community, we strongly encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply and self-identify.

About the Faculty of Business and Communication Studies

The Faculty of Business and Communications Studies (FBCS) is composed of the Bissett School of Business and the School of Communication Studies and has a student body of approximately 3,600 students. The School of Business hosts four departments: General Management & Human Resources, Accounting & Finance, International Business & Supply Chain Management, and Entrepreneurship, Marketing & Social Innovation. The School of Communication Studies consists of four departments: Public Relations, Information Design, Broadcast Media Studies, and Journalism.

The Bissett School of Business offers undergraduate education in all major areas of management and business administration, including degrees, certificates and a diploma in aviation. The School is an accredited member of EFMD, a global, non-profit, membership-driven organization dedicated to  management development. The School has dedicated itself to providing an education that is on the leading edge of global business trends and community relevance.

The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program is designed to prepare students to be successful in the commercial, nonprofit, and public sectors of the Canadian and global economy while being engaged citizens in their communities. The BBA is primarily designed to prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. The BBA may also be considered sufficient preparation for admission to appropriate and relevant professional accreditation programs as well as graduate degrees offered by many Canadian and international universities.

BBA students will have the opportunity to specialize in one of four majors, including Accounting, Human Resources, and Marketing. We also offer a General Management major which allows students to specialize in other fields of business, including Financial Analysis, Financial Services, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, International Business, Social Innovation and Supply Chain Management. Students may also use the General Management major to pursue minors in areas of study offered outside of the Bissett School of Business.

About Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The purpose of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Area is to graduate the transformative talent that accelerates Calgary’s new economy. Our vision is to be recognized in Alberta for developing the transformative talent demanded by today’s high growth ventures.

Stagiarie post-doctoral, « PME et industrie 4.0 », Université de Trois-Rivières

by

Offre stage : Stagiaire post-doctoral « PME et industrie 4.0 »
Lieu : Université de Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada
Partenaires : Institut de Recherche sur les PME; Institut de Recherche Hydro-Québec
Durée : 1 an
Rémunération : 42 000$

Dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche intitulé « Trajectoire des PME dans l’industrie 4.0 : mise en œuvre, retombées multiples et durables», nous sollicitons des candidatures d’étudiants-es ayant complété leur doctorat pour un mandat de recherche d’une durée d’un an. Le projet se fait en partenariat avec l’Institut de Recherche d’Hydro-Québec (IREQ) et l’Institut de recherche sur les PME (InRPME) de l’Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.

Contexte : Depuis 2011, partout dans le monde, l’idée d’une 4e révolution industrielle (Industrie 4.0) alimentée par un ensemble de nouvelles technologies occupe de plus en plus d’espace dans les politiques de soutien aux entreprises. Alors qu’elles représentent la très vaste majorité des entreprises (98%), nous en savons peu sur la pertinence de ces avancées lorsqu’elles sont considérées dans les PME. Une enquête auprès de celles-ci permettra de dresser un portrait de la situation au Québec et de comprendre les raisons qui justifieraient l’engagement ou non des PME sur cette voie. De plus, comme ces écrits sont muets quant à l’impact sur les aspects énergétiques, quant à la consommation et la flexibilité de la demande (énergie intelligente), et quant aux impacts sur les changements climatiques, pourtant l’un des enjeux majeurs à l’échelle de la planète, la durabilité sera l’un des sujets importants de cette recherche.

Objectif : L’objectif du projet est d’observer et de mesurer l’état des PME face à leur adhésion aux activités et actions décrivant l’Industrie 4.0; ainsi que les impacts sur la consommation énergétique, sur les changements climatiques et sur la durabilité.

Mandat principal du ou de la stagiaire : Participer et soutenir la coordination des activités menant à l’opérationnalisation (choix des questions) du cadre conceptuel élaboré par les partenaires, puis assurer les suivis nécessaires à la réalisation de l’enquête (certificat éthique, élaboration de questionnaire, collecte de données), à l’analyse quantitative de données, ainsi que le soutien à la diffusion des résultats qui s’ensuivra.

Tâches : Revue de littérature; Rencontre avec des groupes de discussion pour élaborer la structure du questionnaire; Développement d’un questionnaire; Pré-test auprès de répondants; Préparation de la demande d’un certificat éthique; Gestion de la relation avec la firme de cueillette de données; Production d’un rapport théorique (modèle conceptuel); Analyse quantitative des données; Analyse des résultats et rapport sommaire; Production d’un rapport en lien avec les résultats (article de colloque ou de revue).

Exigence : Doctorat complété en administration ou dans un domaine connexe avec une connaissance des enjeux liés à l’implantation de l’industrie 4.0 dans les PME

Expérience : Une expérience concrète en matière de méthode quantitative (développer un questionnaire, réaliser les tests de fidélité, interpréter les résultats) est nécessaire. Les analyses se font avec le logiciel SPSS.

Autre : Le mandat se réalise avec une équipe de chercheurs provenant de deux instituts. Ainsi, les qualités liées au travail en équipe sont nécessaires. L’autonomie et le leadership à assumer pour faire avancer le projet sont des atouts importants qui seront considérés.

Le-la candidat-e doit s’exprimer, à l’oral comme à l’écrit, dans un français de haut niveau. La maîtrise de la lecture de texte en anglais est essentielle.

Avoir un statut légal au Canada permettant d’occuper le poste pendant la période du mandat est nécessaire.

Le dossier de candidature
Les personnes qui souhaitent présenter leur candidature sont invitées à soumettre leur dossier avant le 18 octobre 2021, dossier comprenant:

– un curriculum vitæ;
– le relevé de note des études doctorales
– un résumé de la thèse
– des contributions significatives en recherche (p.ex. participation à un groupe de recherche, organisation de colloque, articles dans revue ou colloque, chapitre de livres, etc.)
– une lettre de présentation (maximum 2 pages) qui permet d’illustrer les atouts de la personne candidate en lien avec le poste

Les candidatures retenues seront convoquées à une entrevue.

Les documents seront envoyés à François Labelle, responsable du projet à l’adresse suivante : francois.labelle@uqtr.ca
