The University of Alberta is teeming with change makers, community builders, and world shapers who lead with purpose each and every day. We are home to more than 40,000 students in 200+ undergraduate and 500+ graduate programs, over 13,000 faculty and staff, 260,000 alumni worldwide and have been recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for over a decade.

**Working for the Department**

The Community-University Partnership for the Study of Children, Youth, and Families (CUP) at the University of Alberta is a unique collaboration of researchers, practitioners, community organizations, funders, and policy makers across Alberta. The Evaluation Capacity Network (ECN) is a SSHRC funded national interdisciplinary and intersectoral partnership, housed within CUP, that aims to advance evaluation practices within the early childhood field, and social sector more broadly. The ECN bridges community-university evaluation gaps, serving as a central space where students, researchers, government, and community organizations can share and access evaluation expertise, resources, capacity building opportunities, and networks.

**Position**

The ECN is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Evaluation (PDF) who is interested in exploring a program of research related to one or more of the partnership’s four thematic areas: i) community-driven and culturally responsive evaluation; ii) innovations in evaluation capacity building; iii) decolonizing evaluation, and iv) evidence for action (i.e., increasing the value and use of evidence for decision making to improve practice, programs and policy).

The PDF will participate fully in research and related scholarly activities including community engagement dialogues, partnership development and maintenance, student mentorship, teaching, leading research and evaluation initiatives, grant writing, evaluation training and capacity building, knowledge mobilization (e.g., publications, presentations), and project management. The PDF will be offered a supportive environment under the supervision of Dr. Rebecca Gokiert (ECN Project Director & CUP Associate Director), that emphasizes gaining and enhancing skills, critical and innovative thinking, while working independently and collaboratively within the team. With quality training and career development being a top priority of the ECN, the postdoctoral fellow will have access to opportunities that build skills and networks that will make them employable in postsecondary, government, and social sectors.

**Duties**

Research and Evaluation
- Provides expertise in community-based participatory research and evaluation design and methodology.
- Develops and implements capacity-building opportunities in evaluation.
- Provides support in teaching graduate-level evaluation courses.
- Co-creates partnership evaluation frameworks and monitors partnership impact.
- Leads knowledge mobilization activities with a strong focus on co-publishing and co-presenting.
- Organizes and co-facilitates public dialogues, online forums, and symposiums.

Partner & Community Engagement
- Responds to community requests for evaluation support.
- Supports collaborative work with partners (community, government, and/or academic).
- Monitors the environment of public policy, trends, and issues relevant to evaluation and the partners.
- Monitors partner engagement and supports network development.
- Coordinates and supports communication between governance committees.
- Builds a network of municipal, provincial, and national practitioners, researchers, and thought leaders in evaluation and/or early childhood.

Funding and Mentorship
- Secure funding opportunities in order to enhance capacity building initiatives and innovative projects aligning with the project’s thematic areas.
- Provides guidance and mentorship to graduate/undergraduate research assistants, thesis and practicum/internship students, and research volunteers.

**Minimum Qualifications**
- Applicants must possess a doctoral degree (PhD) in a relevant discipline (e.g., psychology, education, public health, soc
