Canada Research Chair Special Open Call for First Nations, Inuit and Métis Applicants
McGill University
Posted: November 11, 2024
End-date: Janaury 6th, 2025

McGill seeks to hire up to 4 tenure track faculty members (open rank) in strategic research areas to deepen Indigenous expertise across the campus. The positions carry the possibility of a Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier 1 or Tier 2 nomination. Internal candidates may apply for the CRC nomination.

McGill University (Montreal, Canada) seeks to hire four faculty members who have lived experience and expertise in Indigenous knowledges, epistemologies, methodologies, histories, traditions, languages, or systems of laws and governance to deepen Indigenous expertise across the campus. There are four available positions which carry the possibility of a Canada Research Chair (CRC) nomination; two at the Tier 1 level and two at the Tier 2 level. Strategic research areas for the CRC include, but are not limited to:

• Indigenous Sustainability
• Indigenous Health and Indigenous Nutrition
• Indigenous Leadership and Governance
• Indigenous Education

A successful candidate's profile should demonstrate the potential for research excellence leading to national and international recognition. CRCs are expected to engage in innovative programs of research that help train the next generation of highly-skilled people through student supervision, teaching and community outreach.

A successful candidate that satisfies the eligibility conditions of the Canada Research Chair (CRC) program may be supported by the University for nomination to a CRC. Candidates for the CRC will be assessed based on demonstrated evidence of existing outstanding original research, and clear recognition as an original researcher of world-class calibre and as a leader in their field.

The Canada Research Chairs are also open to internal candidates who already hold a tenure-track or tenured professor position at McGill University.

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. For the purposes of a nomination for a Canada Research Chair through this Special Open Call, we will select qualified applicants who self-identify as a First Nations, Inuit or Métis. Applicants who are considered will be asked to validate such self-identification in accordance with McGill’s Policy on Indigenous Membership/Citizenship Validation https://www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/files/secretariat/procedures_related_to_the_policy_on_indigenous_membership-citizenship_validation.pdf
