**Clerical Assistant (Administrative Assistant)**:
The Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (JSGS), a joint school of the universities of Saskatchewan and Regina, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. Across the two campuses, JSGS has more than 50 staff, research and teaching faculty, managers, and directors, as well as research assistants and postdoctoral fellows. The School has strengths in Indigenous governance, social policy and inequality, science and innovation policy, climate policy, and governance. JSGS is also home to two research centres - the Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives and the Centre for the Study of Science and Innovation Policy - and the Diefenbaker Canada Centre museum. The School offers seven degree programs (professional and research based) and a variety of graduate certificates. JSGS has more than 600 students and 1,500 alumni from over 80 countries.
