This research aims to create a multidimensional description of individuals who intentionally engage in physical assaults. Harmonizing interacting elements rather than reporting singular concepts, such as home situation or socioeconomic phenomena, provides a more complete representation of how violent plans are formed. The study seeks to create a unified source of information detailing the many ecological dimensions of violent individuals.\nThe successful candidate will work directly with Dr. Edward Taylor. In addition to conducting web searches, the student will communicate with government and not-for-profit agencies. The student will attend regular meetings with Dr. Taylor. Most of the research will take place at the UBCO Landmark Tower offices. However, part of the assigned work can be completed off campus. This project is expected to continue until December 2027.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3298,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Higher Education"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-23T14:38:47Z"}],"liveness":{"score":84,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.838,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/canssi-undergraduate-academic-assistant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/canssi-undergraduate-academic-assistant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T14:41:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
