The University is committed in its Strategic Plan to enhance academic initiatives in the area of human rights ( ). Accordingly, the University has established a Centre for Human Rights Research to enhance interdisciplinary and collaborative research capacities, to provide enhanced training opportunities for students, and to promote advancements in public policy and intellectual debate on issues of human rights, law, and social justice. <strong>Position Number 10974</strong>.</p> <p>A central feature of the mission of the Faculty of Arts is to conduct research in the humanities and social sciences in order both to advance and preserve knowledge in these areas and to provide the highly trained personnel that are required in an increasingly specialized society.

Further information concerning the Department, the Faculty, and the University may be obtained from http://www.umanitoba.ca/arts .

More than 28,000 students from all over the world currently study in a wide range of programs in the liberal arts and sciences, the creative arts, and the professions. Research is a priority at the University of Manitoba and the success of its faculty in securing substantial research support in national/international competitions attests to this fact. <br> <br> Winnipeg is a mature city of some 700,000 people that combines the amenities of urban life with easy access to the countryside and to northern lakes and forests. A short trip outside of Winnipeg reveals the geographic diversity of Manitoba, with ample opportunities for many leisure activities (see www.tourismwinnipeg.com ).The city offers a vibrant arts community, affordable housing by North American standards, diverse cultural institutions, festivals, and entertainment possibilities.
