Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Health Policy
Help build a better Canada through better business. Join the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, a dynamic community united in the spirit of collegiality and driven by the vision of a Greener, Healthier, Happier and Wealthier, more prosperous future for all.
Located on the unceded territory of the Anishinaabe-Algonquin people, in the heart of the nation`s capital and in close proximity to multiple national agencies, the University of Ottawa is one of Canada's top ten research-intensive universities. It is recognised as the first and largest bilingual university in North America and offers strong connections to organisational, government and policy interest holders.
The candidate will also be a member of BHI. The BHI is a ground-breaking interdisciplinary research program designed to accelerate prevention, detection, treatment, and care of health conditions linked to the brain and the heart through research co-produced with patients and other knowledge users. In addition to the BHI, the Chairholder will have access to the vast collaboration opportunities afforded by the University of Ottawa Academic Health Network.
The research conducted by the Chairholder is expected to enhance the critical understanding of the current Health System, forecasting future gaps and needs, and accelerate the best practices, ensuring that the complex nature of interprofessional collaboration in the health care domain can maximize impact for our patients and for the Canadian society. The research is expected to eventually facilitate impact on the prevention, detection, treatment, and personalized care of brain-heart disorders. Ultimately, the research conducted by the CRC holder will serve all Canadians at a time when improving the delivery of healthcare for Canada’s population is so critically needed and is of the highest priority.
The unique perspective afforded by a researcher housed in a School of Management would bring a necessary and complementary understanding of the management and organization of healthcare system actors, paving the way for transformative research that will influence health delivery, economics, and patient outcomes. Of relevance to the BHI, the successful CRC applicant will be deeply committed to community engagement, having a track-record of rigorous collaborative research with community organizations and partners, patients and caregivers, health professionals, and policymakers to engage all the key knowledge users to address BHI interconnected conditions at the community, provincial, national, and international levels.
Leveraging Telfer professor’s world-class expertise in Big Data and health analytics, and the research infrastructure available to accelerate this type of research, the CRC candidate will be well-positioned to produce collaborative research that will ultimately influence policy development and prioritization in a way that is data-driven and evidence-based.
The best tools, models, and policies will help to set the gold standard of excellence not only in Canada but serve as a global beacon. The CRC’s research outreach will adopt an Integrated Knowledge Transfer and Exchange approach ensuring rapid and effective adoption of research findings by key stakeholders, particularly ministries of health including public health at all levels of government.
Tier 2 Chairs, tenable for five years and renewable once, are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. For each Tier 2 Chair, the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program allocates to institutions $100,000 annually for five years, with an additional $20,000 annual research stipend for first-term Tier 2 Chairs. Candidates should, at a minimum, be assistant or associate professors, or possess the necessary qualifications to be appointed to these levels. Candidates who are more than 10 years from their highest degree must contact the University of Ottawa directly for questions related to their potential eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair. The institution may nominate a professor or a researcher who is more than 10 years from their highest degree at the time of nomination and has experienced legitimate career interruptions (see acceptable justifications). In such cases, the institution must submit to the Secretariat a formal justification (using the Tier 2 Justification Screening Form), explaining why the nominee is still considered to be an emerging scholar. The University recognizes the legitimate impact that leaves (e.g., parental leave, leave due to illness) can have on a candidate’s record of research achievement and that these leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process. New CRC nominees are also eligible for infrastructure support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to help acquire state-of-the-art equipment essential to their work.
