The Writing and Communication Centre is now hiring for two Writing and Communication Graduate Fellows (Strategic Projects) positions! The Writing and Communication Graduate Fellows (Strategic Projects) support the information-gathering and research analysis stages of a proposal for enhanced communication support for graduate students that integrates anti-racist approaches. In consultation with the Manager, Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Programs, the Graduate Fellows (Graduate Support) will conduct an environmental scan of models across Canada for supporting graduate students in the development of their communication skills, draft a literature review of classroom and program-embedded communication-support structures and strategies that are attentive to anti-racist approaches, develop questions for and conduct surveys and focus groups with current graduate students, and compile and analyze the results. We anticipate hiring two (2) Graduate Fellows who offer either 1) skills in designing and carrying out consultation methods such as focus groups and surveys, or 2) experience with the field of writing studies, composition and rhetoric, or higher education and its literature.
Both roles are ten-week, hybrid (remote and in-person) contracts for the Winter 2024 term for 10 hours per week (for a total of 100 hours each).
