ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University is interested in recruiting CERCs in the research areas identified below. Applicants should explain how the proposed research program will advance one or more of the government’s science, technology and innovation priority areas () within the selected research area.

i) Accessibility (Faculty of Engineering and Design – /engineering-design)
The successful candidate will be an internationally leading scholar with a record of impactful scholarship in the interdisciplinary field of accessibility research. This position would advance the study of accessibility in design and engineering, with a particular interest in candidates proposing research programs that prioritize the design and delivery of products, facilities, and services to be independently used by people, regardless of ability. A wide range of barriers prevent people from fully participating in society, especially persons with disabilities. User informed approaches advance research on building accessibility, technology development and adoption, transportation systems, and healthcare, among others, while fostering an inclusive research environment. The candidate will be distinguished research leader who can catalyze the critical mass of researchers from various disciplinary backgrounds who investigate a wide variety of topics related to accessibility, disability, and person-centred care at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University.

ii) Arctic Security and Diplomacy (Faculty of Public and Global Affairs – /fpga)
The successful candidate will be an internationally leading scholar with a record of impactful research on Arctic security and/or the exercise of diplomacy to secure Arctic sovereignty. This position will advance interdisciplinary research on security and diplomacy challenges in the Arctic region, addressing national and international concerns related to sovereignty, environmental change, geopolitical tensions, and/or Indigenous rights, while fostering innovation in policy development, technological solutions, and international cooperation. With melting ice, new shipping routes, resource exploration, and shifting geopolitical dynamics, the Arctic is at the forefront of global security discourse. The candidate will be a distinguished researcher who can engage with policymakers, industry leaders, and Indigenous communities to develop innovative solutions for safeguarding Canadian interests and strengthening its position in the Arctic.

iii) Cybersecurity and/or Quantum Computing (Faculty of Engineering and Design – /engineering-design OR Faculty of Science – )
The successful candidate will promote synergy between ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s established research strengths and promote interdisciplinary research that will address the intersecting challenges posed by the next generation of cybersecurity concerns and/or quantum computing. Rapid technological advancements have increased vulnerabilities in computing and communication networks. Quantum computing is also on the cusp of revolutionizing technological capabilities with unprecedented computational power. The successful candidate will be an internationally leading researcher investigating areas including cryptographic software engineering, software security and programming languages, software security and testing, privacy, surveillance, censorship, computer forensics, cybersecurity incident analysis, quantum algorithms, quantum networks, and/or quantum machine learning. Post-quantum cryptography is a particular area of interest.

iv) Experimental Particle Physics (Faculty of Science – )
The ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University Particle Physics Group has an established track record of developing and implementing sensors and detectors for particle physics research. This includes the large-volume liquid argon dark matter search detectors, DEAP- 3600, located at SNOLAB, DarkSide-20k under construction at LNGS in Italy, and ARGO; thin-gap gas ionization detectors (NSW) and radiation-resistant silicon strip detectors (ITK) for ATLAS at the LHC at CERN; and multi-PMT photon detectors for the long-baseline neutrino project, HyperKamiokande, in Japan. The successful candidate will be an internationally leading researcher in particle physics with a demonstrated track record in research with world-class particle physics experiments. Applicants should demonstrate strong potential for obtaining significant research funding and attracting world-class research personnel. The successful candidate will take leadership on the development and implementation of the next generation of particle physics experiments in key research fields such as neutrino properties, dark matter, and physics beyond the standard model.

Candidates who are unsuccessful in a CERC selection process or application may be considered as a nominee for one of up to four Tier 1 Canada Research Chairs in the above research areas. Tier 1 Chairs are intended for outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields. All CRC appointments are conditional on the approval of the CRC Secretariat. For more details, please see the Canada Research Chairs Secretariat at and the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Office for Research Initiatives and Services at /coris.

Qualifications

Applications for a CERC at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ will be evaluated, regardless of award value and/or the career stage of the nominee, building on the CERC program selection criteria (). The evaluation criteria are as follows:

• Research/academic merit and leadership skills of the nominee
• Record of attracting and mentoring students, trainees and research personnel
• Commitment to establishing an equitable and inclusive research environment
• Quality of the research program, including potential to leverage of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s research strengths in the selected area
• Potential contribution to the excellence of the Canadian and international research ecosystem

In addition, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University requires applicants to:

• Have a PhD or equivalent terminal degree
• Currently hold a position in academic, non-profit, government, or industry
• Currently hold the rank of full or associate professor (with the expectation of promotion to full professor within one or two years of nomination) – Note: Applicants from outside the academic sector will be considered and must possess qualifications for a full-time academic appointment at the Associate or Full Professor level.
• A willingness to comply with funders’ terms and conditions for research security compliance.
• Experience teaching courses at the undergraduate and/or graduate level.

As per the CERC eligibility requirements, researchers who hold a full-time academic appointment at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University may not be nominated for a CERC by ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University.

The program imposes no restrictions on nominees regarding nationality or country of residence. Employment and Social Development Canada () and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada () have established procedures to allow non-Canadian chairholders to work in Canada.
