(1) Position: Manager, Indigenous Research
APPLICATION DEADLINE: December 19, 2025
Brief description:
Manager, Indigenous Research is responsible for developing, maintaining, and contributing to the development of our community-based and academic research, including building strong connections with Indigenous experts, communities, and organizations involved in the project as well as with governmental partners towards our project's objectives. The Manager, Indigenous Research will do some travel nationally and internationally to work with subprojects and partners.
Transforming Chemical Risk Management with Indigenous Expertise (CMITEx) is a new, ambitious, collaborative research initiative that seeks to re-envision chemical risk management with implications for pollution and climate change. The project brings Indigenous research methods to the challenge of profoundly transforming chemical risk management in Indigenous community-based practice, university labs and classes, regulatory practices, and policy development. This large, interinstitutional research project brings together 20 researchers and collaborators from institutions in Canada and Aotearoa (New Zealand), putting Indigenous experts as leaders in designing how chemical risk is evaluated and managed. It is a six-year-long collaborative effort supported by $22 million through the federal New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF). Our project puts Indigenous knowledges at the forefront of how chemical risk is managed in communities, research design, and policy in this urgent time of environmental change. You will be working with the project leadership team of M. Murphy (NPI, University of Toronto, Susan Chiblow (Guelph University), and Gunilla Öberg (UBC).
