The Centre for Community Based Research (CCBR) is an independent, non-profit organization located on the University of Waterloo campus. We have 40 years of experience in community-based research and evaluation. Our mission is to build communities that are responsive and supportive, especially for people with limited access to power and opportunity.
We are seeking a Senior Researcher who will lead community-based research projects which are community-driven, participatory, and action-oriented. The Senior Researcher will have solid research credentials in the academic, government, and NGO sectors and a demonstrated commitment to community-based research, including knowledge mobilization and community facilitation.

This is a full-time permanent position with an anticipated start date of November 28, 2022. The successful candidate will have the option to work remotely and/or in office.
