The most interesting of the opportunities we've seen this week—
The multi-site Centre for Social Innovation, Toronto's organization built around shared workspaces and social change, is hiring for a
director of shared spaces. It's a senior management position (five years experience minimum), and they are looking for an eclectic "human Swiss army knife."
Another leading Toronto innovator, MaRS Discovery District, is seeking
a manager for their Youth Social Impact Academy. The program aims to provide promising participants with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to flourish in Ontario's new economy, and the manager will lead the design, development, and execution of that program. For those with a bit less experience, the Academy is also seeking a full-time
associate to support the program.
And finally in senior positions, the Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement (CERIS)--an academic research centre which facilitates collaboration on immigration-related research across all of Toronto's universities and several major organizations--needs a new
director. It's a part-time post and candidates should have a graduate degree in the social sciences (though not necessarily a PhD).
In the cultural sector, the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) is looking for a
research and communications coordinator to manage work surrounding the changing policies and legislation that affects the music industry. And PEN Canada, the writers' organization dedicated to free expression and helping persecuted authors, is seeking an
office manager to oversee day-to-day operations.
If you have an interest in nature, the Toronto Wildlife Centre, which helps sick and injured animals locally, has a six-month contract to fill for
general support staff. And the GreenLearning Canada Foundation, which develops web-based education tools for students around energy sustainability, is on the hunt for a new
executive director to spearhead an engagement driver with teachers across the country.
And the neatest volunteer gig we've seen lately: Artscape is looking for a r
esearcher to help them flesh out the community history of their latest revitalization project, at 180 Shaw Street.
