We are committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment, starting with the hiring process. If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Assessment accommodation

It is the responsibility of the candidate to clearly outline that they meet each of the screening criteria (i.e., Education and Experience Qualifications, both Essential and Assets) in the screening questions. Please note that it is not sufficient to only state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities, rather the candidate must provide concrete examples that illustrate how they meet the requirement. Failure to do so could result in the application being rejected from the process.

Intent of the process

A pool of candidates resulting from this appointment process may be created and may be used to fill similar positions within Global Affairs Canada, with various linguistic profiles and/or requirements as well as tenures which may vary according to the position being staffed.

Positions to be filled: Number to be determined

Your résumé.

In order to be considered, your application must clearly explain how you meet the following (essential qualifications)

EDUCATION:

Master’s degree from a recognized post-secondary institution with acceptable specialization in evaluation, economics, sociology, statistics, international development, international affairs, political science, or public administration.

Notes: Candidates must always have a degree. The courses for the specialization must be acceptable and may have been taken at a recognized post-secondary institution, but not necessarily within a degree program in the required specialization.

The specialization may also be obtained through an acceptable combination of education, training and/or experience.

3. Recent and significant experience* in writing sections of in-house evaluation** reports

* Recent and significant experience is defined as the depth and breadth of experience normally associated with full-time performance of duties for a minimum of three (3) years within the last seven (7) years.
