Thompson Rivers University in partnership with the City of Kamloops is hiring a Researcher-in-Residence Postdoctoral Fellow. The Researcher-in-Residence (RiR) will be appointed as a postdoctoral fellow experienced in community-engaged research theory and practice, and responsible for developing and managing projects, conducting research, designing and facilitating workshops, developing partnerships, brokering research/scholarly work, and supervising students. The position offered for one-year, with an opportunity for extension subject to future funding, will provide opportunities for the researcher to work closely with the faculty supervisor’s research program on cultural mapping, developing independent lines of research inquiry and exploring the proposition that small cities are increasingly challenged to develop cultural and social policies—and related cultural policy research methodologies—that are expected to work with (or for) other policy areas such as economic development, social inclusion, and urban planning.
