Rural Community Research Assistant

Wild Company www.wildco.ca
100% Work From Home | 52-week funded placement | 35 hours/week

This is an OJCP funded position. Candidate must meet OJCP eligibility criteria.

Wild Company is seeking a Rural Community Research Assistant for a one-year applied rural research project. This is a fully remote position and all work can be completed from home.

Working with an experienced researcher, the participant will help organize and analyze a large collection of research materials documenting life in the rural Ontario community of South Algonquin and contribute to public reports and resources based on the findings.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Small rural communities possess a great deal of knowledge about navigating challenges such as limited incomes, limited services, aging populations, transportation, housing, accessibility, economic change and access to information. Much of that knowledge is never systematically documented or analyzed.

This project will bring together more than a decade of community research, records, interviews, observations and other information and turn it into useful public resources. The research is a case study of South Algonquin, but the findings may also reflect other small, aging rural communities facing similar challenges.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

A significant portion of this position involves data entry, organization and qualitative coding. The work can be repetitive and requires consistency, accuracy and sustained attention to detail.

Responsibilities include:

  • organizing and cataloguing research records, interviews and documents;
  • entering, cleaning and coding qualitative and quantitative information;
  • reviewing documents and identifying themes, patterns and inconsistencies;
  • conducting background research and environmental scans;
  • assisting with interviews or surveys where required;
  • preparing summaries, tables, charts and other research materials;
  • contributing to research reports and plain-language public resources; and
  • assisting with the presentation and dissemination of findings.

WHO THIS POSITION WILL SUIT

This may be an especially good fit for someone who:

  • is interested or curious about rural life;
  • enjoys developing and following routines;
  • is methodical and takes pride in careful, accurate work;
  • has a keen eye for detail and notices inconsistencies;
  • can maintain focus through repetitive tasks;
  • enjoys organizing complex or messy information into useful systems;
  • is self-motivated and works well independently in a home-based environment; and
  • has strong writing, research and digital skills.

Post-secondary education or experience in Library and Information Science, social sciences, research, communications, public policy, community development or a related field is preferred.

Training and ongoing mentorship will be provided. The participant will gain practical experience in research methods, information management, qualitative analysis, professional writing, project management and knowledge mobilization. Approximately 60% of the candidate’s time will be spent on the above, with the remaining 40% being spent on training and career progression. There may be an opportunity for the candidate to visit South Algonquin in 2027 if they wish.

Wild Company particularly welcomes applications from persons with disabilities and other candidates who experience barriers to employment who would benefit from the flexible work arrangement. Accommodation is available throughout the recruitment process and placement.

OJCP ELIGIBILITY

This placement is funded through the Ontario Job Creation Partnerships (OJCP), and applicants must meet OJCP participant eligibility requirements. The successful candidate will be paid through the Employment Insurance program, with a top-up to $20/hour from Wild Company. In order to qualify, the successful candidate must:

  • be a resident of Ontario;
  • be unemployed;
  • be legally authorized to work in Canada; and
  • meet at least one of the following:
    • have an active Employment Insurance (EI) claim;
    • have had an EI benefit period end within the past five years;
    • have paid EI employee premiums in at least three of the previous ten years, with earnings of at least $2,000 in each of those years; or
    • have received the EI Emergency Response Benefit within the previous 60 months.

Final participant eligibility is determined through the Ontario Job Creation Partnerships program intake process.

        FACULTY OF LAW: LAW LIBRARY

        HEAD LAW LIBRARIAN Tenured or Tenure Track - Head Law Librarian III-IV

        The Faculty of Law invites applications for the position of Head Law Librarian in the Gérard V. La Forest Law Library. This is a continuing full-time tenured or tenure-track position, anticipated to be at the Librarian III-IV level (depending on experience). The anticipated start date is January 1, 2027, or such other date as may be negotiated with the successful candidate. The position is subject to final budgetary approval.

        The University of New Brunswick respectfully acknowledges that its Fredericton campus sits on unsurrendered and unceded traditional Wolastoqey land. The lands of Wabanaki people were recognized in a series of Peace and Friendship Treaties to establish an ongoing relationship of peace, friendship and mutual respect between equal nations. The river that runs by our university is known as Wolastoq, along which live Wolastoqiyik, ""the people of the beautiful and bountiful river."" Wolastoq is also known as the St. John River.

        Reporting to the Dean of Law, the Head Law Librarian is responsible for coordination the Law Library, including collections, services, and programs; providing input with respect to budgeting and resources; supervising librarians and administrative staff; and ensuring the efficient daily operations of the Gérard V. La Forest Law Library at the University of New Brunswick Faculty of Law.

        The Gérard V. La Forest Law Library serves the legal information needs of the Faculty of Law as well as those of the wider UNB community and adjacent St. Thomas University.

The Law Library's collection includes approximately 129,000 print volumes, including roughly 46,000 monographs and 83,000 serial volumes.

Law students and faculty have access to resources, services, and facilities of the UNB Libraries system, and collections and services of the Law Library are accessible to all members of the UNB community. The wider University community also relies on access to the Law Library's extensive collection of legal and government materials, which are relevant to teaching and research in disciplines other than Law. As a result, the Head Law Librarian is expected to liaise with colleagues within UNB Libraries, and to foster efficient access to the Law Library's collection and services.

        • Serving as a member of Law Faculty Council, the academic governing body of the Faculty of Law;
        • Regular consultation with the Faculty's Law Library Advisory Committee, and;

        • Knowledge of collections development, and demonstrated understanding of scholarly communications in the context of legal resources and publishing;
        • Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain effective working relationships with faculty, researchers, and students at all levels;
