Special Call for Applications from UofT Faculty for Canada Research Chairs

Consistent with the University's commitment to excellence and equity and with federal priorities for the Canada Research Chair (CRC) program, a special call is now posted on the University’s institutional CRC EDI website.

Through this call the U of T is inviting applications to the Canada Research Chair program from faculty who self-identify in one or more of four federally designated groups: women, visible minorities or persons of colour, persons with a disability or Indigenous people. The call is open to full-time faculty who hold an appointment as an Assistant, Associate or Full Professor in the tenured/tenure-stream, clinical or status-only categories at the University of Toronto. Those in the clinical or status-only categories must be employed by an affiliated institution or be individuals who have a firm offer of employment in one of these categories from the University or its affiliated institutions that takes effect by July 1, 2019.

It is anticipated that the posting will result in the selection of up to 19 candidates to the program, most of whom are expected to be Tier 2 Canada Research Chairs for exceptional, emerging scholars. The deadline for applications is November 26, 2018.
