About Western

Since 1878, Western University has been committed to serving our communities through the pursuit of academic excellence and by providing students, faculty, and community members with life-long opportunities for intellectual, social, and cultural growth. We seek excellent students, faculty, and staff to join us in what has become known as the "Western Experience" - an opportunity to contribute to a better world through the development of new knowledge, new abilities, new connections, and new ways to make a difference.

About Us

The Faculty of Health Sciences is a large, diverse, and comprehensive unit, comprised of seven Schools (Food and Nutritional Sciences, Nursing, Kinesiology, Health Studies, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Communication Sciences and Disorders), Graduate Programs in Kinesiology and Nursing, a large Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and five Research Centres. The Faculty has more than 3,200 undergraduate students and more than 800 graduate students (200 PhD students).

The McCormick Care Group oversees the operation of McCormick Home, a long-term care facility for seniors, and McCormick Dementia Services (formerly Alzheimer Outreach Services), a program that serves individuals and their families who are coping with dementia. In 2016, the McCormick Care Group established McCormick Dementia Research in order to attract and engage with research partners to continue discovering new ways to enhance the lives of those living with a dementia diagnosis.

Reporting to the Program Manager, Research, and under the direction of the Associate Dean (Research), the CEO of the McCormick Care Group and in collaboration with FHS faculty members, the Research and Knowledge Mobilization Coordinator will contribute to the design and implementation of knowledge mobilization strategies for research initiatives in the Faculty of Health Sciences. The Coordinator will provide expertise across the faculty in building linkages with professional practice partners, policy makers, industry, the media, and the broader public.

The Coordinator will be responsible for providing research guidance and hands-on operational support to enable McCormick Care Group to be actively engaged in research, best practice development, and knowledge translation. The Coordinator will facilitate research at McCormick by communicating with families and staff to advise them of opportunities to participate in research and work with staff to identify and recruit participants. The Coordinator will prepare brief bi-monthly research activity summaries for the McCormick Board. As an essential element of this position, the Coordinator will enable collaboration with external researchers, including those at Western, and related partners.
