The School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA), formally constituted on July 1, 2017, envisions having a transformative impact on society through learning, research, innovation, and partnerships in public policy and global affairs. Its mission is to act as an interdisciplinary and collaborative hub that contributes to developing policies and solutions to complex global and local issues. The School is home to the Liu Institute for Global Issues (LIU); the Institute of Asian Research (IAR), which includes 5 distinct area research centres; the Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI); and the Canadian International Resources and Development Institute (CIRDI). The School offers the Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs (MPPGA), a 2-year professional global public policy program with particular expertise in Asia Pacific and sustainability.
This CRC in Global Policy is expected to be a full-time, tenure-stream appointment, made at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The successful applicant will have a Ph.D. degree and will have a compelling record of scholarship and policy analysis and be an emerging international leader in their field of research and whose profile and research proposal both meets CRC program criteria and demonstrates an excellent fit with institutional strategic goals and the aims of the position.
