The Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership (MPNL) graduate program, in the School of Public Policy and Administration (SPPA), at Carleton University, is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to lead a new initiative on Women in Philanthropy. The project is funded by a woman philanthropist interested in advancing knowledge and the work of women in the philanthropic and charitable sector.
The Postdoctoral Researcher will develop and implement a research program on women in philanthropy, including roles as donors, volunteers, activists, founders, investors, innovators, leaders and professionals. Community engagement and knowledge mobilization will be major components of the project to learn from and contribute to philanthropic practice in Canada and to build this field of research.
This Research Lead will be expected to collaborate with women philanthropists and sector leaders and convene Critical Conversations to enable the project to champion a deeper understanding of women in philanthropy. The Lead will also be expected to produce academic and practice-oriented papers, reports, blogs and other forms of communication. Some teaching and professional development may be included. The work will be supported by a PhD candidate, Masters student and faculty member, working as a team. An interest in philanthropy/nonprofit studies and/or gender analysis and an ability to guide and supervise the use of a variety of methodological approaches are assets.
The position is full-time at an annual gross salary of $80,000, with the additional ability to opt into an extended health and dental benefit plan. The Postdoc will be considered unionized and will be a member of PSAC Local 77000. Information on this bargaining unit can be found here: https://psac77000.ca.
The position is renewable for three years, subject to annual reviews based on meeting milestones and impact indicators. Ideally, the Researcher would remain in the leadership position for the full three years. Although the work can be hybrid, some time on the Carleton University campus is expected. The preferred start is as soon as possible in 2025 (to be negotiated).
To apply, please email a CV, a statement of fit/interest and the names of three references to Professor Susan Phillips before December 20, 2024, at susan.phillips@carleton.ca, with “Women in Philanthropy Postdoc” in the subject line.

We believe in the importance of supporting on-the-job success for the incumbent and are pleased to discuss and/or provide specific tools, resources or other requirements for day-to-day work, as needed.
