The Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Calgary is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate in Girls’ Health and Well-Being Promotion, with a focus on program evaluation and community-based research.
Job Description:
The Postdoctoral Associate will be responsible for leading (in collaboration with the PI and a community partner agency) research and evaluation for a school-based healthy relationships promotion program for girls in grades 4-6 (~ages 8-12).

The Postdoctoral Associate will receive a stipend of $60,000 CAD/year plus Plan C health benefits. The Postdoctoral Associate will also be provided with appropriate research/office space and resources required to complete the research. The successful Associate will be strongly encouraged to apply for national/international awards.
