Wilfrid Laurier University is a leading multi-campus university that excels at educating with purpose.

Through its exceptional employees, students, researchers, leaders, and educators, Laurier has built a reputation as a world-class institution known for its rich student experience, academic excellence, and global impact.

With a commitment to Indigenization and commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, Laurier's thriving community has a place for everyone.


Laurier has more than 19,000 students and 2,100 faculty and staff across campuses in Waterloo and Brantford, as well locations in Kitchener and Milton.

The university is committed to providing an inclusive workplace, a flexible work policy and employing a workforce that is reflective of local and national demographics.

Our locations are situated on the traditional territories of the Neutral, Anishnawbe, and Haudenosaunee peoples.

We recognize the unique heritages of Indigenous peoples and support their intentions to preserve and express their distinctive Indigenous cultures, histories, and knowledge through academic programming and co-curricular activities.

Laurier's Centre for Indigegogy is one example of how Laurier honours Indigenous knowledge.

Position Summary:


The Research Partnerships Officer is responsible for enhancing the development of strategic collaborative relationships between Wilfrid Laurier University (Laurier) faculty and municipal and non-governmental organizations within the communities that are home to Laurier's campuses and locations (Brantford, Waterloo, Kitchener, and Milton), in support of the university's social innovation activities.

Reporting to the Manager, Research Partnerships, the incumbent will proactively approach community organizations to develop meaningful research relationships between university researchers and community partners.

The incumbent will identify collaborative funding opportunities to support partnered work, including but not limited to those offered through the Tri-Agencies, Ontario Centres of Excellence, and Mitacs.

The incumbent will support proposal development and ensure adherence to University and partnering organizations' policies throughout the pre-award process.

The incumbent will also support the negotiation and administration of research contracts and contribution agreements associated with community research projects.

This will include negotiations of financial and legal terms; milestones and deliverable dates; publication, research dissemination, and student participation requirements.

The incumbent plays a critical role in problem resolution during the life of the contract and/or funded project to ensure that the terms, conditions and requirements of the contract or grant are carried out to the satisfaction of all parties.


In addition, the incumbent will have a leading role in the operations and development of the Laurier Hub for Community Solutions (LHCS), a research facilitation hub located within Laurier's Brantford campus that acts as an intake point for groups seeking expertise to address community-based challenges and opportunities.

The incumbent will support the development and implementation of strategic plans for the LHCS.

As part the LHCS team, the incumbent will coordinate and support collaborative research projects by triaging and matching projects identified by the community (e.g., municipal partners, not-for-profit organizations) to the appropriate group within Laurier (e.g., university's faculty, researchers, students and 23 research centres, etc.).

A key mandate of the LHCS will be ensuring that knowledge produced is shared with other municipalities through the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and other organizations.
