Method over genre
We hire for methodological rigour first, sector experience second. Decisions are sector-specific; method discipline is portable.

Why LIIMRA
A practice where evidence actually lands.
Most research jobs end with a report you hand over. Ours end with a recommendation in front of a decision-maker. That changes how we recruit, how we work, and the kind of problem we say yes to.
Decision-makers, not committees
Our briefs go to a single decision-maker with the authority to act. You'll see the recommendation land — for better or worse.
Edmonton-rooted, internationally engaged
Headquartered on Treaty 6 in Edmonton; project credits across Canada, Spain, and the Gulf. Hybrid by default.
Six disciplines, one integrated pipeline
Data collection · engineering · analytics · GIS · evaluation · multicultural engagement. You'll work across at least two of these on any project.
OCAP®, PIPEDA, FOIP, IRB
You'll work within the standards Canadian institutions require — and learn the substance of why each one exists, not just the checklist.
Roles
Where we'd like your help.
We hire as engagements call for it. If your background fits one of the roles below, send a note — we'll start the conversation regardless of whether a role is currently posted.
Mixed-methods researcher
You design the study, run the field work, and own the analysis. Public-policy, public-health, economics, or sociology background. Comfort with quant + qual.
Data engineer / analyst
You build the pipelines, the warehouse, and the dashboard layer. Strong Python or R; comfort with cloud warehouses; ETL fluency. Causal-inference exposure a plus.
Programme evaluator
You design theory-of-change frameworks, build monitoring indicators, and run counterfactual models. Experience with public-sector or non-profit programmes preferred.
GIS / spatial analyst
You map service deserts, run catchment analyses, and produce interactive atlases. QGIS or ArcGIS; comfort with StatsCan boundary files; cartographic taste.
Community-engagement specialist (multicultural)
You design and run inclusive field strategies that bring underrepresented populations into the evidence. Multilingual; deep community ties; experience with Indigenous, newcomer, or ethno-cultural research. OCAP®-aligned practice required.
