Exciting short-term positions for Faculty of Education grad students
Do you believe that research makes a difference?
Are you interested in learning about the broad spectrum of research conducted by members of the Faculty of Education?
Would you like to use your writing, research and creative skills to showcase the impact of that research to broader audiences?
If you answer those three questions with an enthusiastic ‘YES!’ then apply to join the OGPR team for a 2-month research and communication project.
The goal of the project is to gather data about the impact of Faculty of Education research projects funded by SSHRC, CIHR and NSERC, help organize it for easy searching, and prepare the data for communication through various print and electronic media (such as written stories, the web, social media, video, posters, brochures and reports).

– Be curious about education research in a wide range of topic areas
– Have strong interviewing skills, with an ear for good stories
– Write clearly, in a way that appeals to non-specialized audiences
– Enjoy working with a team, brainstorm ideas, and receive and provide constructive feedback
