In early January the Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC), in partnership with the Canadian Association for the Study of International Development (CASID), launched a major initiative entitled Next-Generation Leadership: New Models for Canadian Collaboration in International Development. Over a three-year program (2017—2019), they will identify and promote new ways of working among practitioners and academics.

In the first six months of the program, different mapping exercises will take place to obtain an accurate overview of the Canadian ecosystem of research and knowledge sharing. Among other things, they will map existing partnerships and collaborations between Canadian academia and civil society, and conduct a literature review around what makes for good academic-practitioner collaboration.

CCIC is currently looking for two Research Assistants to work with them.

  • One Research Assistant will help design a monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) framework for the program. View the job ad.
  • Another Research Assistant will undertake a systematic literature review (both peer-reviewed and grey literature) to identify experiences around academic-practitioner collaboration, both in the Global North and South. View the job ad.

CCIC is looking for master degree students and PhD students with experience in research.
