**Location**

**Working for the University of Alberta**

The University of Alberta acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 6 territory, and respects the histories, languages and cultures of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community.

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.

Your work will have a meaningful influence on a fascinating cross section of people—from our students and stakeholders, to our renowned researchers and innovators who are quite literally curing diseases, making discoveries and generating solutions that make the world healthier, safer, stronger, and more just.

**Working for the Department of Political Science**

The Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta is one of Canada’s leading departments, on the cutting-edge of the discipline, with outstanding faculty whose research traverses traditional fields and engages diverse interdisciplinary methods and ideas. We are proud of our commitment to excellence in teaching and mentoring, from students in our BA, through our Honours program, to our three MA programs, our PhD, and our Postdoctoral Fellows. A lively department, we are always asking how our research connects with topical issues and with the communities of which we are a part.

The Black Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub is a Canada-wide network of scholars and community partners assembled to study issues affecting Black entrepreneurs, develop practical intervention strategies and policy recommendations, and work with government on implementation. The Central Regional Hub of the Black Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, located at the University of Alberta, aims to build a network of scholars and community partners who will work collaboratively to: (i) advance the interests of Black entrepreneurs; (ii) promote engagement among research scholars and community partners in our network to better understand the entrepreneurship experiences of Black Canadian entrepreneurs; (iii) conduct research on experiences meaningful to community partners; (iv) develop strategies for knowledge translation and implementation in the community through iteration; and (v) reinvest funding directly in the Black entrepreneurship community through scholarship and creation of pilot programs developed based on research evidence and data.

**Position Summary**
- Research Background_: _The proposed qualitative study is designed to generate a more comprehensive understanding of Black entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship in Canada through the creation of evidence-based personas. It aims to mobilize this knowledge within the entrepreneurship ecosystem and to train the next generation of Black social scientists. The study entails the development of a detailed map of Black business ecosystems across Canada and the identification of critical gaps where Black entrepreneurs face significant challenges. This research will be made publicly accessible and will benefit the Black entrepreneurship ecosystem in Canada. The study employs a “Persona Methodology,” utilizing fictional characters to embody the core traits, behaviours, attitudes, and worldviews of a particular group of people. This approach allows for a “thick description” and a more accessible understanding of the community, rather than relying solely on quantitative analysis.

This National Qualitative Study will be conducted in six regional “knowledge hubs” led by the University of Alberta. The knowledge hubs are located at Carleton University, Concordia University, University of Alberta, Saint Mary’s University, the University of Northern British Columbia, and Simon Fraser University. There will be a Lead Facilitator and Research Assistants at each hub that will work collaboratively with the projects’ lead and principal investigator at the University of Alberta. The study will involve a series of at least six (6) focus groups in all six (6) regional hubs across Canada. The core activity in these workshops involve participants drawing a Black entrepreneur to uncover assumptions about what it means to be Black in the entrepreneurship spac
