CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR IN CHILDREN AND GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT
The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at Dalhousie University
invites applications for a Tier I Canada Research Chair on "Children and
Global Development." The appointment will be at the rank of Professor and
will be conditional on the successful applicant being approved as a Tier 1
Research Chair by the CRC secretariat. The position is open with regard to
disciplinary specialization, with a primary appointment in one of the
Faculty's Departments (Classics, English, French, German, History,
International Development Studies, Music, Philosophy, Political Science,
Russian Studies, Sociology and Social Anthropology, Spanish and Latin
American Studies or Theatre). A research emphasis on the area of children
and conflict would be an asset. Dalhousie University has growing strength
in the broad area of "Children in Challenging Contexts", including
researchers in the School of Social Work and the Faculty of Medicine as
well as FASS. This strength is reflected, for example, in a new Network
Centres of Excellence Knowledge Mobilization grant on Children in
Challenging Contexts and the Centre for Foreign Policy Studies Child
Soldier/Conflict Affected Youth initiatives. The successful candidate will
be expected to sustain a strong research program of their own, and in so
doing actively contribute to intra- and inter-faculty collaborations in
this area of emphasis.
Candidates must have a PhD, an outstanding research profile, and an
innovative and original research programme; a strong track-record of
obtaining external funding; and the ability to work co-operatively,
provide leadership in an interdisciplinary environment, develop
multi-faceted research projects, and work with graduate students and/or
post-doctoral fellows. Although this is primarily a research appointment,
the appointee will be expected to teach at the graduate and undergraduate
level.

Government of Canada to enable Canadian universities to foster research
excellence and enhance their role as world-class centres of research
excellence. More information about the Canada Research Chairs Programme is

The Faculty seeks candidates with excellent research and teaching

is essential. The Faculty recognizes that the field of museums and
heritage, as well as its role and involvement in society, is dynamically
evolving, contributing to the development of new forms of social

social phenomenon.
