The Faculty of Law at Thompson Rivers University (TRU Law) invites applications from candidates with a strong commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and collegial governance.

The appointment is expected to start on July 1, 2027.

While open to applications from candidates in all research and teaching areas, the Committee is especially interested in individuals with scholarly and teaching interests aligned with the required courses in our curriculum. We encourage all applicants to identify any areas of teaching interest falling in the core JD curriculum.
