OCAD University wishes to nominate an individual to its vacant Canada Research Chair Tier 2 using the CRC Emergency Retention Mechanism. This memo is posted to fulfill the requirements set out by the Canada Research Chair Secretariat, as per instructions (see http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/equity-equite/recruitment-recrutement- eng.aspx, section 8).
