- Work with Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and Indigenous communities to co-develop and co-launch Indigenous-led research, including development of general and community-specific engagement plans tailored to the unique needs, desires, and processes of each Indigenous group that engages with TCA.
- Promote education for and provide advice to TCA researchers on respectful and meaningful engagement, Indigenous research methods and ways of knowing, including Indigenous cultural awareness training for all staff and researchers involved in TCA.
- Work with TCA CAO and Finance Director to allocate financial resources and manage budgets within the implementation plan and the Indigenous engagement strategy.
- Provide advice to TCA's Executive Council as a collective by way of attendance at Executive Council meetings and Management Committee meetings, and/or through one-on-one discussions with the institutional Vice-Presidents Research and Innovation.
- Create a best-practice model for future Indigenous-focused research programs and initiatives.
- Develop a strategy for ongoing communication and outreach.
**Position Requirements**:
- A minimum of 5 years' experience planning and managing engagement with Indigenous communities and demonstrated success in bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups for co-creation of strategy and initiatives.
