Toronto, Ontario, Canada Pine River Institute Full time

Director of Research - Full time
Pine River Institute (PRI) is a unique adolescent and family serving not-for-profit organization.

PRI's predominate program initiatives are to provide live-in treatment services for youth from across Ontario, who struggle with addictive behaviors and mental health challenges.

These programs are based in Dufferin County, Simcoe County, Muskoka, and Toronto.

PRI also offers a range of other programs including parent/caregiver education programs, training initiatives aimed at clinicians working with youth with addiction or mental health challenges to provide them tools to work with families/caregivers and an outpatient initiative partnering with some Toronto based hospitals.

One of the hallmarks of PRI has been our commitment to research and evaluation.

We use this information to understand the impact of our programs, determine what works, why it works, and what could be improved, as well as providing measurable results to funders.

The Director of Research and Evaluation is a key member of the PRI management group.

The Director will be expected to work with varying parts of the organization in order to provide research and evaluation support to a number of initiatives.

In particular, the Director must forge close relationships with the clinical staff in order to foster an ongoing dialogue about questions, concerns, and directions that might capture the impact of the treatment or explore new areas of clinical practice.

In short, the person in this position should incite and support a sense of curiosity within the organization.

While cooperation and collaboration with academic partners will always be important including publishing in peer review journals, we are eager to put an emphasis on disseminating what we learn through research and evaluation to a broader public audience such as our colleague providers, youth and families, policymakers, and funders.
