Researchers in the areas of infection, immunity and transplant at Toronto General Hospital Research Institute (TGHRI) are invited to submit applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC). Applicants must hold an appointment at TGHRI at the level of Scientist or Senior Scientist. The successful candidate will be nominated by TGHRI for the next CRC competition.

To meet the criteria of the program, nominees must be no more than 10 years from their first degree (PhD or MD) at the time of the nomination. They must be outstanding and innovative researchers whose accomplishments have the potential to make a major impact, and become an internationally recognized leader in their field; have records of attracting and supervising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (taking into account different practices in the relevant field or discipline); and be proposing an original, innovative research program.

 

Applicants are invited to submit the following:

• a complete academic curriculum vitae (CV)

• a two-page research proposal highlighting the major themes of research to be completed over the next five years

The CRC Program requires institutions to collect self-identification data from all applicants, following the program’s best practices. This data is important to UHN’s ability to ensure that researchers from diverse groups are able to benefit from participation in the program. As part of your application, you will be asked to complete a brief Diversity Survey. Responses to all survey questions are voluntary and applicants can log a response indicating that they decline the survey. Any information directly related to you is kept strictly confidential and cannot be accessed by the search committee. Aggregated and anonymized data regarding the applicant pool will be reported only to the chair of the selection committee and the committee’s equity advisor for purposes of program administration and to meet reporting requirements. Applications will only be considered complete once the survey is submitted.
