Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Public Policy in a

**Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Public Policy in a Polarized Era, JSGS**:
**The** Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy** (JSGS) at the **University of Saskatchewan** (USask) is recruiting for a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Public Policy in a Polarized Era. The **Canada Research Chairs Program** is the flagship of a national strategy to make Canada a world-leading country in research and development and is committed to addressing Research Chair equity gaps.**:
Canada’s policy context is highly complex, and our understanding of governance needs to be adapted to the realities of dissolving social cohesion, increasing populism, the ongoing processes of reconciliation, and growing distrust of both science and government. The Tier 1 CRC in Public Policy in a Polarized Era will lead cutting-edge research into the governance tools necessary to advance evidence-informed policy in an era of political polarization.
This CRC is both timely and necessary. Both misinformation (false or misleading information) and disinformation (misinformation spread with a deliberate intent to deceive) are on the rise. These dynamics feed political polarization and create a powerful negative feedback loop that makes evidence-informed policy difficult.
Polarization is a broad international social phenomenon that is limiting the potential for science-based advancement to translate into public policy. The context for evidence-informed policy in Canada and other advanced democracies has never been more challenging or complex. If we are to achieve the potential for scientific and technological advancement to address the world’s most challenging problems, there is a need for change.
The CRC will help advance both policy frameworks and policy training. In turn, by improving the context for evidence-informed policymaking, the CRC will:
- Improve the quality of life in Canada;
- Train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to become policy leaders equipped to advance evidence-informed policy through innovative public engagement research and practices suitable for a polarized political environment;
- Create new graduate course offerings on policy and polarization available to students in a wide range of disciplines;
- Partner with USask researchers in areas highly affected by polarization;
- Establish international interdisciplinary networks of scholars focused on the issue of evidence-informed policy within a context of polarization; and
- Increase evidence-informed policy tools through JSGS’s strong government connections for use by policymakers.
**Qualifications**
We are looking for an experienced scholarly colleague with a **doctoral degree in political science, public administration, economics, or a related social science discipline.** They will have a research track record in an area related to public policy and/or governance.
A competitive salary commensurate with experience and appointment will be negotiated. A stipend with guaranteed funding for any required infrastructure and training will be provided following a successful CRC nomination. This position features a comprehensive benefits package, including a dental, health, and extended vision care plan; pension plan; life insurance (compulsory and voluntary); long-term disability and sick leave; travel insurance; death benefits; employee assistance program; professional expense allowance, and a flexible health and wellness spending program.
**Application Details**
- Cover Letter
- Curriculum Vitae
- References: Contact information for three academic references.
Applicants should describe how equity, diversity, and inclusion principles support their innovative and impactful research and enhance training and learning outcomes.
