Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) is a community of learning grounded in scholarship

and academic freedom, preparing students to be independent thinkers, ethical leaders and

citizens for the common good. CUE campus is situated on the banks of the North Saskatchewan

River in Edmonton’s historic Highlands neighborhood. Supporting a student body of over 3,000,

we are known for our small class sizes and our excellence in teaching. Our small classes and

diverse student population provide an excellent opportunity for engaging with students in a

sustained and nurturing way unique within the Canadian university system. CUE is an institution

that values research in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and management. Our vision is

to become Canada’s pre-eminent small university. CUE is committed to fostering a diverse,

equitable, and inclusive environment for work, study, and living. We actively promote dignity

for all, rejecting action and language that are harmful to mutual respect.

proposal development, requirements related to external funding organizations, and all aspects

of the research development and administration continuum, with the overall goals of: 1)

expanding and improving CUE’s research framework to best support its researchers, scholars,

and artists; 2) increasing success of research proposals; and 3) increasing the amount of

external research funding that comes to CUE. The incumbent is also responsible for identifying

new opportunities, as well as streamlining or improving current policies and procedures related

to research and innovation and CUE. Moreover, they are responsible for the development and

implementation of CUE’s Safeguarding Research Program.

As the Technology Transfer Officer for CUE, the incumbent is responsible for supporting the

translation of new innovations arising from research at CUE. Through the development of

robust and inclusive technology transfer services program, the incumbent supports and

protects the intellectual property of researchers, staff, and students, as well as guide them

through the various stages of translation and commercialization. Furthermore, they connect

researchers with industry partners to bring ideas to market.
