The project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada. This study also involves a team at the University of
Alberta.   We are seeking a research associate/project coordinator to
manage and carry out - with the support of the investigators -- the three
components of the study over a 30 month period (2.5 years) beginning in May
or June of 2006.  These project components are: a) analysis of large data
sets; b) carrying out and analysis of in-depth qualitative interviews; and
c) consultation with various stakeholders to identify various policy
options to address the issue of the social determinants of the incidence
and management of type II diabetes among vulnerable populations.

conducting and analyzing in-depth qualitative interviews; familiarity with
issues of nutrition and food security with vulnerable populations; and

Toronto and understanding of issues facing persons with type II diabetes
would be assets.

These skills will be critical for carrying out the study coordinator's
major responsibilities which will include (1) contacting and working with
data and research agencies to gain access to various data sets for
analysis; (2) contacting and working closely with community stakeholders to
arrange and carry out interviews with community members; (3) using SPSS to
carry out analyses of data sets; (4) carrying out in-depth interviews and
helping to analyze the data that result from these; (5) working with
stakeholders to identify policy options that flow from these findings; and
(6) helping to write the final reports from the project.
