3 weeks ago
As part of the 2026 competition for the Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERC) Program, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS) is inviting applications for two professor positions, with the selected candidates expected to hold a prestigious CERC.
These positions fall under the Health: Promotion, Prevention and Precision Medicine unifying theme at the UdeS. The departmental affiliation will be determined based on the candidate’s expertise and the research theme they identify with from one of the two themes described in the “Desired Profile” section.
This call for proposals is open only to external candidates, meaning individuals who do not hold a position or a professorial status at the UdeS as of the application deadline.
