ABOUT THE POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
Two (2) one-year (1) Post-Doctoral Fellowships (with the possibility of renewal) are available at the Youth
Research and Evaluation eXchange (YouthREX) at the School of Social Work, York University. We’re looking
for Post-Doctoral Fellows with strong backgrounds and interests in community-based research and
evaluation and strengths in either qualitative and/or quantitative research and/or creative data
visualization and accessible communication to community stakeholders. The fellowship is an exciting
opportunity for a postdoctoral fellow to engage in community-based research, equity-focused program
evaluation, community partner collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
The successful candidates will work in an interdisciplinary team environment led by Dr. Anucha, the
Provincial Academic Director of YouthREX and the York Research Chair in Youth and Contexts of Inequity.
On a day-to-day basis, the post-doctoral fellows will report to the Director of Research and Evaluation with
supervision from Dr. Anucha. In addition, the post-doc fellows will work closely with community partners,
youth workers, Academic Network Members and Research Assistants (including youth research assistants)
across Ontario that are part of the YouthREX community. We are looking for individuals who are excited at
the thought of being part of a small but mighty organization that straddles the interface of community and
academic cultures.
