Job Summary Sexual and reproductive healthcare (SRH) services are essential to health and wellbeing and should be accessible to everyone; however, Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, Indigiqueer, and gender diverse peoples (IW2SIQGD) are significantly less likely to access SRH services globally, and especially in Canada. While access to SRH services has been identified as a key determinant of health, there are persistent service gaps, and a lack of culturally safe and equitable interventions tailored to the specific SRH needs of IW2SIQGD. The Indigenous Health Equity Lab is hiring a Project Coordinator for the project, Amplify: Elevating the voices of Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, Indigiqueer, and Gender-Diverse voices. The Project is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Project Grant.

Amplify is a community-based participatory action program of Indigenous research that draws upon qualitative, quantitative, Indigenous and art-based methods. "Amplify" represents our overarching goal to use research as a tool to amplify and uplift IW2SIQGD voices. The goal of the project is to develop evidence-based and community-driven practice guidelines that is guided by and led by Indigenous ways of knowing and amplifies Indigenous community voices to directly inform equitable and culturally-safe reproductive, sexual health care and justice for IW2SIQGD. The Indigenous Health Equity Lab is an Indigenous-led program of research established to identify and inform the implementation of culturally safe and equitable health services, support reproductive justice, gender health equity, revitalize traditional Indigenous wellness practices, amplify Indigenous voices, and support Indigenous capacity building and mentorship.
