Faculty of Arts
The University of Manitoba is accepting applications and nominations for
Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) established by the Government of Canada to

(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

The University of Manitoba is the province's largest, most comprehensive
post-secondary educational institution. More than 28,000 students from all

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
