The holder of the Chair will also be actively engaged in the policy process, with an appreciation for how the relevant policies are developed, promoted, and implemented.

The successful candidate will report to the Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy and will contribute to the academic activities of the School, especially the Master of Public Policy (MPP) program. The successful candidate will teach, mentor students, develop and promote research, and promote a shared vision that will engage and motivate collaborators and stakeholders in support of the School¹s programs. The holder of the Beaverbrook Chair will play a leading role in a major new project on media, technology, and democracy currently being built at the Max Bell School. As a nexus for ongoing research into the evolving interplay between the media, politics and democracy, the project¹s overarching goal will be to serve as a hub of outreach, debate, applied research, and public engagement around evolving media-democracy issues.
