As part of Sentinel North (SN), the UL office of the Vice Rector of Research and Innovation is investing $3 million over five years (2017 to 2022) in a first competition for new research chairs. The SN research chair program aims to attract both accomplished and promising new researchers to UL to strengthen the institution’s research capacity in SN’s strategic priority areas. These new chairs are designed for Canadian and international candidates that are not currently professors at UL. Nominations must be submitted by UL Faculty Deans by June 26, 2017.

Details on the call for chair submissions.

Sentinel North also seeks to recruit outstanding young researchers at UL through a series of doctoral and postdoctoral scholarships that encourage the development of the experts needed to address the complex challenges and opportunities of the changing North. These excellence scholarships are offered to Canadian and international students willing to start or pursue research projects as part of the Sentinel North research program. The first deadline for submission is May 10, 2017.

Details on the scholarship competitions.
