Manager, Indigenous Research Ethics
4 days ago
Overview:
**This role is a 2 year contract and comes with full benefits, and pension.**
The Manager will assume a leadership role for ORE activities relating to the orientation and training of Waterloo faculty, staff, and students in the areas of Indigenous research and research ethics. The focus will be supporting Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers to advance institutional change with respect to research with Indigenous peoples in a culturally sensitive way and promote a culture of inclusion and cultural humility.
As part of the impact theme on Strengthening Sustainable and Diverse Communities, the University of Waterloo, through the 2020-2025 strategic plan, is committed to promoting and supporting Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigenous Relations and a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusivity for all. Improving the representation, participation, and engagement of equity-deserving groups within our community is a key objective of Waterloo’s strategic plan for 2020-2025. The selection process for this position will follow the provisions for a special program as described by the Ontario Human Rights Commission to address the underrepresentation of Indigenous peoples and to increase specialized support for Indigenous faculty and staff within the research ecosystem.
We ask each interested applicant to include a statement in their cover letter if they self-identify as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit with lived experience of Indigenous worldviews, cultures, and values, and maintain strong ties to an Indigenous community(ies). Experience conducting research in and working and/or living in a First Nations, Inuit, or Métis community will be integral to the role.
The Manager will be expected to work from the ORE office on campus as the research ethics team does not work fully remotely, however hybrid working arrangements are possible.
