69³ÉÈ˵çÓ°Íø University recognizes the undeniable impact that career interruptions and personal circumstances (e.g., pregnancy, early childcare, eldercare, illness, etc.) can have on a candidate’s record of research achievement. Career interruptions will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process.

Candidates who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree and who have had career breaks, such as maternity, parental, or extended sick leave, clinical training, etc. may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 Justification process.

69³ÉÈ˵çÓ°Íø is committed to diversity and inclusiveness. We encourage applications from members of racialized communities, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, and persons of all sexual and gender identities. 

Accommodations are available upon request for all candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process. To confidentially request accommodations, please contact Sabine Beisser, Interim Director of Human Resources, at sbeisser@mta.ca.

Tier 2 Chairs cannot be renewed for a third term, as per policy of the CRC program.

Although the CRC program permits renewals of Tier 1 Chairs for a third term in rare exceptional circumstances, it is 69³ÉÈ˵çÓ°Íø’s present position that such renewals will not be considered.

All policies that govern the staffing of Canada Research Chair positions at 69³ÉÈ˵çÓ°Íø University are administered by the Department of People and Culture and the university’s Collective Agreement with the 69³ÉÈ˵çÓ°Íø Faculty Association. Additional information can be found within the labour relations and policies and procedures sections of our Leadership and governance webpage.

It is acknowledged that these policies may change over time in response to the action plan on equity, diversity, and inclusion. Below is the current utilization of available CRC allocations as well as 69³ÉÈ˵çÓ°Íø's CRC EDI Target Setting Plan for 2021-2029.
