We will seek a world leader in the identification and quantification of global supplies and supply chain security of Critical Minerals from ore deposits and from legacy mine waste materials. A successful candidates will complement existing research programs at Ӱԭ including linking tectonics to global metallogeny, support the Government of Canada in refining its Critical Minerals strategy, define low-grade “backstop” Critical Minerals sources in the face of geopolitical supply chain constraints, find sustainable supplies of cementitious materials, and seek to reclaim Critical Minerals from legacy mine waste materials including red mud from alumina processing. 

Cybersecurity for National Resilience and Digital Sovereignty (for consideration for appointment in the Faculty of Science): Cybersecurity underpins Canada’s economy, democracy, and national security. As reliance on cloud platforms, AI systems, connected devices, and large-scale data grows, new vulnerabilities emerge that cannot be solved with reactive or purely technical fixes. This area advances next-generation approaches combining advanced digital technologies with human-centred design, system measurement, and responsible deployment. We seek an internationally recognized researcher to explore incident detection and investigation, privacy-preserving system design, secure software and infrastructure, quantum security, post-quantum security, and the integration of AI into security operations in ways that are transparent, trustworthy, and resilient to misuse. A successful candidate will propose a program that moves beyond theoretical models toward cybersecurity solutions that work at scale in real organizations, protect everyday users, and inform policy and standards.

Defence Economics (for consideration for appointment in the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs): Defence economists examine how resources can be optimally allocated for military versus other needs, what aspects of the military should be prioritized, along with considerations of a country’s defence industrial base. This includes analysing defence budgets, how defence investments contribute to industrial and technological objectives, military procurement, addressing national security challenges and examining linkages between the military and industry, including those that involve dual-use technologies. We are seeking a world class defence economist with an active research program capable of contributing to scholarly, policy and public debates on these and related issues as the Canadian government ramps up defence spending in the coming years and outlines an ambitious defence industrial strategy.

Digital Market Governance, Sovereignty and Public Trust (for consideration for appointment in the Sprott School of Business): Canada leads in advanced digital technologies but struggles to turn innovation into trusted, widely adopted systems that deliver social and economic benefits. Concerns around digital sovereignty, including control over data, platforms, standards, and critical infrastructure, combined with regulatory uncertainty, fragmented governance, misaligned incentives, and low public trust constrain adoption. We are seeking a research leader in digital market governance and public trust to examine how advanced digital systems are designed, governed, regulated, and scaled, with particular attention to sovereignty, safety critical industries, and dual use applications. Engaging with industry, government, and community partners, the successful candidates will develop a program focused on business models, competitive dynamics, institutional arrangements, and policy frameworks shaping technology adoption and resilience, translating research into actionable management practices, policy guidance, and implementation pathways that support accountable, trusted digital markets.

Environment, Climate Resilience and Arctic Policy (for consideration for appointment in the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs): The transformation of the Arctic and its socio-ecological environment is creating tensions between sovereign nations, challenges for communities that depend on local food resources, while providing opportunities for economic development in various resource-based sectors and tourism. We seek an internationally recognized scholar conducting interdisciplinary research on the socioecological, cultural and economic implications of environmental change, climate change adaptation, and sustainable Arctic economic developments in the Canadian and pan-Arctic context. The successful candidate will directly engage with Northern partners, Indigenous leaders and governments, Northern and federal economic agencies, NGOs and the private sector to identify strategic policies and directions to support climate resilience, environmental protection and Arctic investments that are supported by local communities.
