  • Monitor external (government, sector and media) trends and developments affecting post-secondary policy and perception; report shifts and synthesize trends for the DRA and Executive Committee as needed.

  • Assist in the strategic analysis of data and trends, and provide planning and ideas input for department and executive consideration when appropriate.

  • Maintain files in areas of active inquiry and effectively archive all knowledge that could have future value.

  • Maintain an awareness of the committee structure and overall governance of the three levels of government.

  • As directed, research the history and purpose of policies, and their impact upon students.

  • Provide information about University and Governmental policies, procedures, practices, documents, services, programs, and any other information as requested.

  • Conduct research into the priorities, policies, and practices of other post-secondary institutions and government jurisdictions, both interprovincial and international, as directed.

  • Review, analyze, and suggest amendments to UASU, external institutions and government policies.

  • Produce reports, fact sheets, presentations, and other communications relating to government/external interest holder policies and information as directed.

  • Provide support as outlined above to other members of the UASU Executive Committee as assigned by the DRA or Executive Committee.

  • Attend internal and external meetings as requested by the DRA or Executive Committee.

  • Submit a final report to the DRA or Executive Committee.

  • Other related duties as requested by the DRA or Executive Committee.




Qualifications and Experience



  • Knowledge of statistics and quantitative methods is an asset.

  • Ability to analyze financial data, including financial statements, annual returns, and budgets, is an asset.

  • Willingness and ability to work varying hours and a commitment to working posted office hours acceptable to the DRA.

  • Excellent communication and critical thinking skills.

  • Demonstrated creativity and capacity for lateral thinking.

  • Ability to work on tight timelines and meet deadlines.

  • Knowledge of the post-secondary policy environment and wider policy-making context of the Edmonton City Council, the province of Alberta, and the federal government is an asset.
