Likely causes are:
1) back of pad rubbing on caliper or caliper piston.
2) glazing on either the pad or rotor
3) (much less likely) some part of the brake system may be rubbing when braking.
I would suggest disassembling the brakes, and lightly sanding the face of the pad (the part that rubs on the rotor) with some medium grit sandpaper. You don't have to sand hard, all you want to do is break up and glaze on the surface. Then get some "brake quiet", this is usually sold as an spray or in a tube. Spray that on the *back* of the pad (the part that doesn't touch the rotor). DO NOT get any on the rotor or the face of the pad as it will negatively affect braking. Re-assemble the brakes and take it for a test drive.
If the glazing is on the rotor, it will need to be replaced or resurfaced to remove it.
