Do you know (or are you) a senior scientist in the USA who might like to move to Canada in the near future? The 2026 call for CERCs (Canada Excellence Research Chairs) was posted last month: 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 🇨🇦
Canada Excellence Research Chairs - Home
The CERC Program offers eligible Canadian degree-granting universities the opportunity to establish research Chairs at their institutions in research areas that are of strategic importance to Canada.
