We are looking for CSC Program Officers to take part in a study about the realities of the job. The study is funded by USJE. However, neither USJE or CSC will be informed of who does or does not participate.
You will be asked to participate in a one-on-one interview in English about your experiences and, in advance of the interview, to complete a short demographic survey and return it by email. The interview will be approximately one hour long and will occur on the phone. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The study is about occupational experiences, stresses, and health. You will be asked to provide identifiable demographic and occupational information. As such, confidentiality measures will be followed to protect your identity, and these will be explained in detail prior to the interview.
Participation in this study is voluntary and is not a requirement of the USJE or the CSC.
Please note that, later this year, Memorial University also plans to begin interviews with legal assistants, clerks, and support staff from the federal department of Justice Canada, as well as the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and the RCMP who are represented by USJE.
To participate as a CSC Program Officer, or to receive more information about this study, please contact:
