The Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, invites applicants for a Canada Research Chair, Tier II in Law. This position is expected to be a full-time, tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Candidates with several years of full-time teaching experience and a substantial research record well beyond their graduate work may be considered for an appointment at the Assistant Professor level, if they are not yet appointable at the Associate level. The successful candidate will have a JD, LLB or equivalent law degree and, absent exceptional circumstances, a completed PhD or SJD or other doctoral degree in law or a related discipline. The successful candidate will have an outstanding academic profile, including scholarly publications and research plans that demonstrate the potential to contribute to the nationally and internationally acclaimed record of research and scholarship at one of Canada's premier law schools. The successful candidate will also be expected to establish a productive scholarly agenda, to provide effective teaching and mentoring of JD and graduate students, to teach in the core curriculum, and to assume leadership roles within the School of Law appropriate for the appointed rank. The Canada Research Chairs Program supports outstanding researchers in areas that will further UBC's strategic research plan. To meet the criteria of the CRC program, Tier II nominees must: be excellent emerging researchers who have demonstrated particular research creativity; have demonstrated the potential to achieve international recognition in their fields in the next five to ten years; as chairholders, have the potential to attract, develop and retain excellent trainees, students and future researchers; and be proposing an original, innovative research program. The Canadian Federal Government established the Canada Research Chair program (http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/home-accueil-eng.aspx) to attract outstanding researchers to Canada's universities. Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidates must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination). Applicants who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, such as maternity, parental or extended sick leave, clinical training, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair assessed through the program's Tier 2 justification process.
