CCPA Inequality Research Project
Title: Project Director
 
  The successful candidate will be the driving creative and managerial 
force behind this ambitious new project of the Canadian Centre for 
Policy Alternatives. The project involves both research and 
communications. The project’s broad goals are:
   

	• 	To foster greater understanding among Canadians of the importance 
of equality as a fundamental value in a civilized democratic society.
	• 	To increase public awareness of the state of income and wealth 
inequality in Canada--its causes and consequences; and increase public 
support for, and promote measures that would reduce inequality.
	• 	To humanize issues of wealth and poverty in a way that brings the 
reality of inequality home to people and makes it relevant to their own 
lives.
 
  We are searching for an individual with background in both research 
and communications. The successful candidate will have most of the 
following qualities and experience.
   

	• 	Outstanding research, writing and communications skills.
	• 	A deep understanding of inequality and related social justice 
issues.
	• 	An extensive understanding of policy research and how to 
communicate it in compelling ways.
	• 	A thorough knowledge of and experience with conventional media 
(print and broadcast) and new (internet-based) media.
	• 	A demonstrated ability to conceptualize and direct major research/ 
communications projects.
	• 	An understanding of social justice-oriented civil society 
organizations.
	• 	An understanding of the CCPA and the role that it plays in the 
public policy arena.
	• 	A proven ability to work collaboratively with, and coordinate the 
activities of researchers, academics, activists, staff colleagues and 
others.
	• 	A unique combination of vision, skills and experience, drive and 
commitment that is critical to realizing the goals of this project.
 
Language: English. (Ability to communicate effectively in French an 
asset.)

Term: This is a two-year appointment, beginning in April, with renewal 
conditional on performance and continued funding.
