Saskatoon, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time

**Project Coordinator**:
**Primary Purpose**: The Miyo Pimâtisiwin Indigenous Wellness Knowledge Development Centres Coordinator is expected to be a visionary leader who represents Miyo Pimâtisiwin to the public and its stakeholders. Reporting to the Principal Investigators, with day to day direction from the Executive Director, the Project Coordinator will lead the management and coordination of research activities related to the Miyo Pimâtisiwin Indigenous Wellness Knowledge Development Centres with key initiatives focusing on promoting the health and wellness of Indigenous communities using Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Doing. This involves supporting communities to explore wellness as conceptualized by their own people, using a health and wellness determinants approach and working with Indigenous people including Elders, Knowledge Holders, youth, and researchers in academia.

**Nature of Work**: As a valued member of Pewaseskwan - the Indigenous Wellness Research Group at the University of Saskatchewan, the Project Coordinator will collaborate closely with relevant stakeholders and communities to create Indigenous Wellness Knowledge Centres. The Project Coordinator will coordinate the entire study from planning, survey development, pilot testing, survey distribution, data collection and analysis to knowledge translation activities and manuscript writing. These centres will be grounded in the land and culture. The land and nature more broadly are our primary teachers. The land provides critical connection with our ancestors and must be preserved for future generations. Land-based Indigenous research methodologies will be a critical component of this project.

The Coordinator will embrace the concepts of community engagement, consultation, partnership and self-determination. This position requires a high level of independence, interpersonal skills and knowledge of Indigenous philosophies and methodologies.

The Project Coordinator will lead the formation of wellness wisdom teams in each of two or three First Nations or Métis communities. The specifics of the team and operations will be determined by each community, with teams remembering, developing and furthering Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Being and Doing in relation to health and wellness. With the assistance and mentorship of academia, communities will develop, prepare and carry out a series of community-led knowledge gatherings for sharing processes and gathering wisdom. Coordinating, documenting and comparing processes and outcomes, as well as evaluation of knowledge translation and exchange across Indigenous communities and by academia and the health system will add wider benefit to the project.

**Accountabilities**:

- Create a framework for the operationalization of Indigenous Community Wellness Knowledge Development Centres, including governance and operations models.
- Collaborate with communities on the research of medicines (including their current characteristics and geographic distribution; the timing and techniques of their collection, preparation and storage; various uses), ecosystem mapping in each of the seasons, rites of passage and ceremonies, which will be undertaken by each community according to their own research agenda.
- Collaborate with communities on the research of other aspects of life which we, as Indigenous people, understand to be medicine (e.g., language, music, food, family, solitude) and which may also be prioritized by communities. The ways to best explore this will be developed and assessed.
- Facilitate ongoing dialogue engaging health system decision-makers, healthcare providers, researchers and trainees to identify health policy, system, service and access gaps and opportunities, to evaluate alignment with research activities, and to develop strategies to promote uptake of research findings for health system, policy and service improvement.
- Develop a knowledge translation framework for assessing implementation issues and Indigenous health.
- Oversee comprehensive review(s) of relevant literature and other sources and produce literature summaries as required for other team members relevant to specific topics.
- Present findings at local, national and international meetings where relevant.
- Lead manuscript writing and contribute to manuscripts of relevance to Miyo Pimâtisiwin
- Prepare communication materials for community members and other stakeholders as the project unfolds.
- Provide seamless project management support for the Principal Investigators, including communicating with team members and stakeholders and organizing meetings.
- Supervise, support and coordinate the activities of research personnel.
- Develop, prepare and present annual or official reports to funding agencies, key external stakeholders and university leadership/administration.
- Ensure a high quality of studies as per regulations stipulated by the Tri-Council and other granting agencies, Research Ethics Boards and other oversight
