| Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) Innovative Regulatory Governance and Health Policy, Faculty of Health Disciplines In the rapidly evolving digital era, particularly in a post-pandemic world, regulatory governance and health policy is an increasingly vital area of interdisciplinary health research. As the global challenges associated with regulatory governance and policy transcend disciplinary silos, AU seeks an exceptional emerging scholar with demonstrated potential for leadership and international recognition in the field to be nominated for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (tenure track appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor) in the Faculty of Health Disciplines. The nominee will develop a funded-research program in and beyond health-focused disciplines to encourage new models of collaborative thinking in regulatory governance and policy. This may include areas such as global health regulatory governance and policy in the digital era (e.g., regulatory changes following the rapid acceleration of virtual professional services during the pandemic) as well as integrated and equity-based data in regulatory governance (e.g., regulatory data collection and use that includes key diversity data to contribute to post-pandemic workforce planning). In their activities and outcomes, the Chair will contribute to a community of practice in this field of inquiry, foster national and international partnerships in research, lead in digital-first research approaches, and generate traditional and non-traditional knowledge translation products. They will foster and role-model a collaborative and inclusive approach to research and supervision, including engaging in mentorship within and beyond the immediate activities of the Chair and lead applications for external sources of provincial, national, and international research funding for research and students. The Canada Research Chair Program seeks to attract and retain a diverse cadre of world-class researchers to reinforce academic research and training in Canadian postsecondary institutions. Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidates must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination) who (a) are excellent emerging world-class researchers who have demonstrated particular research creativity, activity, output, and impact, (b) have demonstrated the potential to achieve international recognition in their field in the next five to ten years, and (c) have the potential to attract, develop, and retain excellent trainees, students, and future researchers. The chairholder must demonstrate an original, innovative, and high-quality research program. Chairs are tenable for five years and renewable once. Applicants who are more than ten years from having earned their highest degree and, where career breaks, such as maternity, parental or extended sick leave, clinical training, etc., exist, may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair assessed through the program's Tier 2 justification process. Effective March 1, 2020, research interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are recognized and may be counted as an eligible delay. Candidates are encouraged to highlight how alternative paths and/or interruptions have impacted them in their applications. Please consult the Canada Research Chairs website for full program information, including further details on eligibility criteria, www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca. AU recognizes the legitimate impact that leaves (e.g., maternity leave, leave due to illness) can have on a candidate's record of research achievement. These leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process. The Canada Research Chairs Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Action Plan and target setting methodology guide AU's efforts toward inclusive excellence and aims of increasing representation of the four federally designated groups in the University's CRC program. These four groups include: gender, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, and visible minorities. AU invites individuals from all four designated groups to apply. In accordance with AU's CRC Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, equity targets for the four designated groups, and pursuant to section 10.1 of the Alberta Human Rights Act, the selection committee is particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who are women, transgender men, transgender women, two-spirit, and gender-fluid.
