*Citizen Lab Postdoctoral Fellowship (January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014)*

The Citizen Lab is currently seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our
group for a six month term (January 2014-June 2014). We encourage

project in the general thematic areas of Internet governance,

*Global Justice Lab Postdoctoral Fellowship (January 1, 2014 to June 30,
2014)*

The Global Justice Lab (GJL) is based at the Munk School of Global
Affairs at the University of Toronto. This Lab draws together research
across academic disciplines, including law, the social sciences, and
diplomacy, to study the growth and effects of the global justice field.
Our research focuses on studies of the accountability models, both
international and national, that seek to address political violence,
atrocities, and human rights violations.

The Global Justice Lab explores how this global field has been built,
its ongoing changes, and the effects of this global justice field for
diplomatic relations, legal institutions, militaries, journalists, NGOs,
corporate actors, and the well-being of populations in post-conflict states.
