The University of British Columbia is inviting expressions of interest from top-tier, internationally based researchers as the first step in applying to join the thriving research community on our Vancouver and Okanagan campuses through the Government of Canada’s new Canada Impact+ Research Chairs program.

These chairs have maximum award values of either $1 million per year or $500,000 per year for eight years.

Chairs will be appointed as full-time full professors or associate professors who are expected to be promoted to full professor within two years of starting their chairholder appointment.
