Saskatoon, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time

**International Partnerships Specialist**:
The Office of the Vice-President Research (OVPR) provides visionary leadership and strategic direction to the university’s research, scholarly, and artistic works. This is achieved by creating strategic partnerships, plans, and policies that together create a supportive research environment indicative of a world-class research-intensive university.

The International Office coordinates and administers university-wide international activities, such as identifying and supporting strategic international partnerships and managing international agreements; liaising with government offices, industry and other institutions on internationally related issues and missions; hosting visiting delegations and dignitaries; and facilitating international research and development proposals. The International Office is one of the primary stewards for the university’s International Plan**:The International Blueprint for Action**.

**Primary Purpose**: The International Partnerships Specialist at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) works as part of a team to coordinate all aspects of international relations. With responsibility for a regional portfolio of global partnerships focusing on Asia, Northern and Western Europe, the incumbent plays a key role in developing and maintaining stakeholder relations across a variety of sectors including industry, government, civil society and higher education institutions. The International Partnerships Specialist diligently conducts research and analysis into geopolitical risks that affect our objectives in the international relations space and is responsible for developing, finalizing and renewing international agreements and ensuring that the agreements comply with university policies, procedures and priorities.

In addition, the International Partnerships Specialist plays an important role in organizing international delegations to and from USask, supporting international visitors, and providing advice and support for academic and administrative units across the University. The incumbent works closely with a team of International Research Specialists to promote internationalization across USask through effective engagement practices to advance USask’s internationalization strategy known as the **International Blueprint for Action**.

**Nature of Work**: Reporting to the Director of the International Office, the International Partnerships Specialist plays an important role in supporting the development and coordination of effective events with identified internal (colleges, schools, institutes, centres, administrative units, faculty) and external stakeholders (examples include Trade Commissioners, Embassies, CBIE, and national/regional funding agencies such as China Scholarship Council, European Commission, and others). The International Partnerships Specialist supports the International Office team and other units on campus in providing in-depth content, research and analytics for key USask and international stakeholder initiatives by following established university policies and procedures.

International relations work activities are complex, time sensitive, and require significant attention to detail. This highly specialised role requires a high level of interaction with multiple sectors not limited to administration, academic units, faculty members of international institutions, provincial, federal and foreign governments, and industry and community organizations.

The work requires prioritizing and reconciling multiple priorities and competing interests, and the impact of error is significant. A highly developed awareness of and appreciation for diverse cultural norms and protocol is imperative. A knowledge and understanding of international mobility programs such as Erasmus+, Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED) and others would be desirable.

**Typical Duties or Accountabilities**:

- Monitors, coordinates, and facilitates new and existing international partnerships between USask and external stakeholders as required, complimenting the activities of academic units and the International Office;
- Assists campus stakeholders in developing, drafting, finalizing and renewing international agreements (including but not limited to General Collaboration Agreements such as Memorandum of Understanding, Training and Student Mobility Agreements, Dual Degree Agreements, and foreign government funded scholarship agreements), ensuring that agreements comply with university requirements, policies and procedures, consulting with academic and administrative units and seeking advice from USask legal counsel when needed;
- Collaborates with various sectors (academic, government, industry, civil society) to negotiate, renew, revise or terminate agreements;
- Consults with relevant academic and administrative units to ensure that proposed partnerships, and any resulting agreements, are supported and will add val
