Assistant or Associate Professor
Canada Research Chair in Human Rights and Social Justice
Faculty of Arts

The University of Manitoba is accepting applications and nominations for
Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) established by the Government of Canada to
enable Canadian universities to foster research excellence
(http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca). The University is committed in its
Strategic Plan to enhance academic initiatives in the area of human rights
(http://www.umanitoba.ca/admin/president/strategic_plan/index.html).
Accordingly, the University has established a Centre for Human Rights
Research to enhance interdisciplinary and collaborative research
capacities, to provide enhanced training opportunities for students, and
to promote advancements in public policy and intellectual debate on issues
of human rights, law, and social justice. Position Number: 10974

A central feature of the mission of the Faculty of Arts is to conduct
research in the humanities and social sciences in order for both to
advance and preserve knowledge in these areas and to provide the highly
trained personnel that are required in an increasingly specialized
society. It is home to 18 social sciences and humanities departments and
units, as well as ten Interdisciplinary programs. Further information
concerning the Department, the Faculty, and the University may be obtained
from http://www.umanitoba.ca/arts. The Faculty welcomes applications from
all researchers engaged in human rights or social justice research in
either the humanities or social sciences. Applicants whose research
intersects multiple disciplines are particularly welcome.

The University of Manitoba is the province's largest, most comprehensive
post-secondary educational institution. More than 28,000 students from all
over the world currently study in a wide range of programs in the liberal
arts and sciences, the creative arts, and the professions. Research is a
priority at the University of Manitoba and the success of its faculty in
securing substantial research support in national/international
competitions attests to this fact.

Winnipeg is a mature city of some 700,000 people that combines the
amenities of urban life with easy access to the countryside and to
northern lakes and forests. A short trip outside of Winnipeg reveals the
geographic diversity of Manitoba, with ample opportunities for many
leisure activities (http://www.tourismwinnipeg.com). The city offers a

diverse cultural institutions, festivals, and entertainment possibilities.

record of substantial publication in an outstanding and innovative
research program in human rights and/or social justice, and the ability to
attract excellent graduate students. Applications including significant
applied research contributions to human rights and social justice are
expressly welcomed. Tier 2 CRCs are "exceptional emerging researchers" who
at an early phase of their careers (i.e., within 10 years of completing
their PhD) have demonstrated the promise of a strong research profile and
the potential to be leaders in their field. The candidate selected for
this position will be required to work with the proposed home department
or unit and the Faculty to prepare the formal nomination to the CRC
Secretariat according to CRC program guidelines.

The appointment, contingent upon the successful CRC nomination, commencing
July 1, 2013, will be a full-time probationary position at the rank of
Assistant or Associate Professor. Rank and salary will be commensurate
with qualifications and experience. Tier 2 CRC positions are for five-year
terms, and are renewable once. For the duration of the CRC, the successful
candidate will be granted reduced teaching responsibilities.

The University of Manitoba is strongly committed to diversity within its
community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group
members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, persons of
all sexual orientations and genders, and others who may contribute to the
further diversification of ideas. All qualified candidates are encouraged
to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given
priority.

Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research
