About the Canada Research Chairs opportunity
Dalhousie University invites applications from outstanding international leading and early career researchers to express interest in the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program. The CRC program offers Canadian institutions the opportunity to nominate a diverse cadre of up to nine outstanding researchers for professorships in areas that will further the institution’s strategic research plan and enable them to maximize their contributions as centres of research and research training.
The program provides funding to support Tier 1 and Tier 2 Chairs. Tier 1 CRC candidates receive $200,000 per year over seven years, renewable once. Tier 2 CRC candidates receive $120,000 per year over five years, renewable once.
