The successful candidate will be working on a 26 month project, through a grant opportunity with guaranteed funding until March 2027 that will evaluate Planet Youth Nipissing. The project employs the Icelandic Prevention Model to provide insights into youth health and well-being across Lake Nipissing communities, implement effective solutions, and monitor progress over time. Strong family and peer relationships, extracurricular involvement, and school engagement are some key protective factors of focus. Emphasizing cultural safety, health equity, and inclusive research practices, the project integrates input from diverse community partners and meaningfully engages youth. A range of research methods will be used to monitor and evaluate interventions addressing key risk factors and protective factors. The post-doc will work with an intersectoral and interdisciplinary team of faculty at Nipissing University, community health promoters at the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit and a variety of community partners to support the research activities. Key activities include asset mapping, process and outcome evaluation, data analysis and dissemination, and liaising with community partners, including parents, youth and community leaders.
