We are very excited about our Community Vitality Project, and are
looking for that magical combination of a seasoned community researcher
with qualitative ad quantitative skills and the ability to synthesize
and write well.  Content knowledge of survey instruments to measure
parenting and child development is a plus, but not essential.  Easy
access to Toronto is required.  If you are interested in the position,
contact me for more details.  [log in to unmask]
