The University of New Brunswick Faculty of Law invites applications for a SSHRC Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Cybersecurity and Privacy Law. This is a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, commensurate with the candidate’s qualifications and experience. This position has an anticipated start date of 1 July 2021 or such other date as may be negotiated with the successful applicant.
Per UNB requirements, the applicant should have a PhD in Law together with relevant professional experience and a record of excellence in university teaching and research. The Chair will establish a research program that focuses on cybersecurity law and privacy law, supported by external funding and aligned with the strategic plans of the University of New Brunswick, the Faculty of Law, and the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC). The Chair will also contribute to the Faculty of Law’s teaching and service needs (no more than one full course per year). Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidates must have been active researchers in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination), acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. Potential 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., and/or where applicable exceptional circumstances are present, may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 chair assessed through the CRC Program’s Tier 2 justification process. Please contact Heidi Van Wart (crc@unb.ca) or the UNB Office of Research Services for more information.
UNB recognizes the legitimate impact that leaves (e.g., parental, illness) can have on a candidate’s record of research achievement. Leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process. Please consult the Canada Research Chairs website for full program information, including further details on eligibility criteria.

The Chair will work with the CIC (also on the Fredericton campus) and other UNB units (e.g., Faculty of Computer Science, Faculty of Management, Gregg Centre for War and Society) to position UNB as a centre for excellence in cybersecurity and related areas. Please send applications to the attention of John Kleefeld, Dean and Professor of Law, at the email address below.
