Carleton University invites applications from outstanding researchers for up to two tenured appointments as a Canada Excellence Research Chair in the following research areas: Accessibility, Arctic Security and Diplomacy, Cybersecurity and/or Quantum Computing, and Experimental Particle Physics.
The Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERC) Program seeks to strengthen Canada’s ability to attract the world’s top researchers and build a critical mass of expertise in Canada’s science, technology and innovation priority areas (https://www.cerc.gc.ca/program-programme/priority_areas-domaines_prioritaires-eng.aspx). Awarded Chairs are valued at either $500,000 or $1 million per year for a period of 8 years, including salaries and benefits for the Chairholder and their personnel. Appointment is conditional on the approval of the Tri-Agency Institutional Programs (TIPS) Secretariat through a separate application process, and results are expected in Spring 2027. The successful candidate will then have up to 12 months to take up the award and the duties of the position.

Chairholders are expected to initiate and develop new directions of research that will complement and expand upon current research activity at Carleton, and actively contribute to knowledge mobilization within and beyond the academic community.
