Aug 31, 2024Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

This is a sociocultural-ecological study informed by existing literature and available data.
The successful candidate will work directly with Dr. Edward Taylor and communicate with government and not-for-profit agencies. The GAA will attend regular meetings with the research team. Part of the assigned work can be completed off the UBCO campus. However, much of the research requires on-campus collaboration with team members.
The study uses existing published articles and documents along with computer-posted information to examine the development of violent individuals. This research aims to create a multidimensional description of individuals who intentionally engage in physical assaults. Harmonizing interacting elements rather than reporting singular concepts such as home situation or socioeconomic phenomena provides a more complete representation of how violent plans are formed. The study seeks to form a synchronized source of information that details the many dimensions of violent individuals.
Duties include the following:
Conduct complex library and computer literature searchesWork with the team to determine which literature is used by the projectConduct research-related tasks such as identifying and summarizing findings from articles, documents, and web informationConduct data collection, including data analysis and data managementIdentify research variables within select datasetsAnalyze findings to determine themes and linkage among and between variablesConduct content analysis of selected literaturePrepare and present research findings for review by team membersHelp improve research activities and make revisions as necessary in work plans and productsWrite research reportsParticipate in regular team meetingsWork collaboratively with the team leader and other R.A.sParticipate in writing articles for publication (authorship is based on the amount of original writing for the article completed by the R.A.)Performs other related duties as required.-
