The University of Alberta Faculty of Law invites applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Constitutional Pluralism. The successful candidate will lead an innovative program of research examining the coexistence, interaction, and negotiation of multiple legal orders – including Indigenous, federal, provincial, and international legal systems – within Canada’s constitutional frameworks.
The successful candidate will have opportunities to pursue their research program with the support of, and in engagement with, two research centres housed in the University of Alberta's Faculty of Law.
- The Wahkohtowin Law & Governance Lodge works alongside Indigenous communities and nations to revitalize and implement their own laws and governance, and offers a dynamic hub for community-engaged research, teaching, and collaboration in Indigenous law.
- The Centre for Constitutional Studies fosters research and public education on constitutional law in all its dimensions, including plurinational governance, federalism, and interactions between Indigenous and state legal orders.
Together, these centres make the Faculty an especially welcoming and supportive home for scholars working in constitutional pluralism.
