Communications and Knowledge Translation Coordinator

Saskatoon, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time

**Communications and Knowledge Translation Coordinator**:
In March 2020, Canada’s national health research funder, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, announced funding to establish nine Indigenous health research centres across the country under its Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR) program. This network of centres is intended to be funded from 2020 to 2035 (15 years), to create and sustain supportive research environments driven by and grounded in Indigenous communities in Canada.

The _nātawihowin_ and _mamawiikikayaahk_ Research, Training and Mentorship Networks that make up the Saskatchewan NEIHR (SK-NEIHR, skneihr.ca) are a dynamic, vibrant group of over 100 researchers and community partners, led by Indigenous academics, in partnership with Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, FSIN, and other community partners. Our community-post secondary network celebrates our diverse Indigenous identities, cultures, languages and traditional homelands, including the resistance and resilience of our ancestors to European colonization and Settler society. The majority of our network members are First Nations and Métis people of this territory, and as such our commitment to one another extends far beyond research partnerships and funding opportunities. Collectively, we, our parents, grandparents, and our children spent our childhoods in the families and communities this network serves.

**Our Network’s Vision**: For all First Nations and Métis people in Saskatchewan to experience optimal health and wellness across their lifespan. At the heart of our vision is a shared understanding that the knowledge, wisdom, resilience, and innovation of Métis and First Nations Peoples are foundational to the wellbeing of our families and communities, and are key to research and interventions aimed at eliminating endemic health disparities and structural inequities that contribute to poor health and social outcomes.

For more information about our network and its activities, we encourage you to visit our **website** and **Facebook page.**

**Primary Purpose**:
The primary purpose of this role is to provide communications, outreach and knowledge translation (KT) support for the Saskatchewan NEIHR network, under the direction of Dr. Robert Henry and other principal investigators of the SK-NEIHR, and Ms. Fleur Macqueen Smith, the SK-NEIHR’s Manager, and the SK-NEIHR’s Communications and Knowledge Translation Committee. This is a two year term position, with possibility of extension.

**Nature of Work**:
The Communications and KT Coordinator is accountable to Ms. Fleur Macqueen Smith, the SK-NEIHR’s Manager, and Dr. Robert Henry, the nominated principal investigator. You will join a small staff team who work collaboratively and are accountable to each other to support this network, balancing competing priorities and shifting timelines, and exercising judgment and discretion.

The networks’ offices are located at Station 20 West in Saskatoon, with some travel to meet with researchers at University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina and First Nations University, people in First Nations and Métis communities throughout Saskatchewan, and staff of community organizations.

We follow the University of Saskatchewan standard work hours, with some variability for evening and weekend work. This position is professional in nature and is therefore exempt from overtime.

**Typical Duties or Accountabilities**:
Work will be undertaken with the direction, guidance, and support of the Saskatchewan NEIHR’s Manager, Chair and members of the Communications and KT Committee, and the Network’s Research Leads.

The Communications and KT Coordinator will be involved in a range of tasks, including:

- Develop a sustainable communications and outreach strategy for the SK-NEIHR, so that the Network’s messages are effectively and consistently communicated through various outlets to stakeholder audiences. The Strategy would include social media, website (created in Cascade), newsletter, webinars, speaker series, research engagement events, and seeking out publicity through affiliated universities and provincial media outlets.
- once developed and approved, plan and oversee yearly communications and KT activities, with the support of the Communications and Knowledge Translation Committee, SK-NEIHR Manager and other staff, and the Research Leads
- seek out and maintain an awareness of SK-NEIHR related news, events, and human-interest stories and use various platforms to communicate this information to internal and external stakeholders. Identify and capitalize on ongoing publicity opportunities
- interview researchers, graduate students, community partners and others involved with the SK-NEIHR, and participate in events, in order to profile the SK-NEIHR’s research, training and KT
- utilize skills in communications, graphic design, web design, photography, and videography to write, design, edit, produce and distr
