Dear all,
Happy to update that we have started a formal search process for a Canada Impact+ Research Chair position in climate-related disasters and community resilience. The timeline is extremely tight - applications will be reviewed as they come in, and a selection has to be completed by the end of February at the latest. Details can be found in the UMCareers ad at the following link:
https://viprecprod.ad.umanitoba.ca/DEFAULT.ASPX?REQ_ID=43836 Recruitment Portal (1)https://viprecprod.ad.umanitoba.ca/DEFAULT.ASPX?REQ_ID=43836 ad.umanitoba.cahttps://viprecprod.ad.umanitoba.ca/DEFAULT.ASPX?REQ_ID=43836 [favicon.ico]https://viprecprod.ad.umanitoba.ca/DEFAULT.ASPX?REQ_ID=43836
The Impact+ Chair program is a new Government of Canada initiative, aiming to attract world-leading researchers whose work addresses critical national and global challenges. The successful Chairholders and their research teams will receive an award of up to $1M/year over 8 years, with a potential for a 4-year extension at half of the initial award value. Only candidates who are internationally based (both working and residing outside of Canada) are eligible to apply.
By this email I encourage everyone to reach out to those who you think might be qualified to apply, or send the name(s) to Kelly and we’ll happily connect with them. Thank you very much and fingers crossed for a successful search!
