Graduate Student Researcher
"I worked for two years at McMaster University, and it was fantastic; one of the best places I've ever worked. There is an excellent sense of community and camaraderie, and lots of work interaction between colleagues. Fairly average in terms of compensation and resources. What really made this place stand out for me was the people. Very friendly, helpful, and encouraging."
