Position Summary

University of Regina
The University of Regina is a public research university with a strong commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship, graduate education, and research that engages local, national, and global challenges. Located in Regina, Saskatchewan, the University is situated in a mid-sized and increasingly diverse city in the Canadian prairies. The University is situated on Treaty 4 Territory—the territories of the Nêhiyawak, Anihšinapek, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples—and the traditional homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation, with a presence in Treaty 6.
Overview A one-time tri-agency initiative led by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Canada Impact+ Research Chairs program aims to bring leading international researchers to Canada to build research capacity and generate strong economic, social, and policy impacts. ()
The University of Regina invites applications for Canada Impact+ Research Chairs (Impact+), a new tri-agency initiative designed to attract world-leading researchers to Canada who will advance high-impact research with transformative social, economic, and policy outcomes. The Impact+ program supports institutions in recruiting outstanding international scholars whose work addresses critical global and national challenges.
Successful Impact+ Chairs will receive substantial funding through the Government of Canada, valued at $8M (or $4M) over eight years, with potential for a four-year 50 % funded extension. These funding levels reflect the program’s commitment to supporting ambitious research teams and knowledge translation pathways that benefit Canada and the world. ()
The University of Regina is committed to research excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and knowledge mobilization that drives societal benefit, and welcomes nominations in the Government of Canada’s priority areas for the Impact + Research Chairs Program:
  • Advanced digital technologies (e.g., AI, quantum, cybersecurity)
  • Health and biotechnology
  • Clean technology and resource value chains
  • Environment, climate resilience, and the Arctic
  • Food and water security
  • Democratic and community resilience
  • Manufacturing and advanced materials
  • Defence and dual-use technologies
Position DescriptionWe seek exceptional researchers with a demonstrated international record of excellence and leadership whose work aligns with one or more of the strategic priority areas above. The Chairholder will:
  • Lead a visionary, world-class research program that addresses critical challenges with measurable societal impact.
  • Form and mentor a dynamic research team, including trainees and postdoctoral scholars.
  • Develop partnerships across sectors (academic, industry, government, community organizations, and Indigenous communities where appropriate) to accelerate translation, policy uptake, commercialization, and scalable solutions.
  • Contribute to the research and academic mission of the University through teaching, graduate supervision, and service.
Position Requirements Qualifications
Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria of the Canada Impact+ Research Chairs program, including:
  • Internationally based (working and residing outside Canada) at the time of the program intake application deadline.
  • Exceptional research accomplishments with significant potential for continued impact.
  • Qualifications for appointment at the University of Regina at the rank of Full Professor or Associate Professor with a clear trajectory to Full Professor.
  • Demonstrated expertise in an area aligned with strategic priority areas and evidence of success in advancing research translation, partnerships, and interdisciplinary collaborations.
  • Commitment to mentoring and training the next generation of researchers.

We recognize that life circumstances such as illness, disability, family and community responsibilities (e.g., maternity leave, parental leave, leaves due to illness, leaves due to caring for family members, slowdowns due to chronic illness or disability, or COVID-19 impacts) are often an expected part of life and are likely to have an impact on a nominee’s record of research achievement, and that these impacts will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process.
Detailed program eligibility and nomination requirements are available through the Canada Impact+ Research Chairs program website. ()
