The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program stands at the centre of a national strategy to make Canada one of the world’s top five countries for research and development. This is accomplished via the establishment of research professorships in eligible Canadian degree-granting institutions.

Brandon University has five Tier 2 Canada Research Chair allocations. We are proud of our Chairs and the positive impact they have had on our faculty and the University at large.

Canada Research Chairs Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Brandon University is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace and we regard individual merit as the prime criterion for the treatment of current faculty and staff and for the employment of new faculty and staff.  Equity is deeply embedded in our hiring practices and diversity welcomed.  We are committed to the values of openness, fairness, and tolerance.  We are committed to ensuring that candidates are not advantaged or disadvantaged, whether they are from a dominant or marginalized group or based on protected characteristics, as outlined in the Human Rights Code.  By extension, this commitment encompasses the Canada Research Chairs Program and the management of our institutional allocation.
