[ISSET]

The Institute for Space Science, Exploration and Technology (ISSET) at the
University of Alberta is seeking nominations for the Canada Global Impact+
Research Chairs Program <https://www.canada.ca/en/impact-plus-chairs.html>,
a CAD$1.7B fund from the Government of Canada dedicated to recruitment of
international talent to Canadian research universities. The University of
Alberta is soliciting nominations for Associate and Full Professors, or
equivalent rank. Successful chair awardees would receive funding for eight
years of 1 million dollar a year, plus an option for a 4-year renewal at
$500k CAD per year. ISSET seeks to nominate candidates within priority
research topics for the program including, but not limited to: advanced
digital technology, dual-research and defense, and environmental science.
Within these topics, relevant space and environmental science research
areas include, but are not limited to: terrestrial and planetary
environments including climate science, ionospheres and space weather,
spacecraft or instrument hardware development, smart materials for space
applications, and propulsion engineering. Future solicitations of assistant
professor, post doctoral, and graduate student awards will be shared at a
later date. An internal University assessment, resulting in the selection
of candidates to be nominated into the national competition, is the process
through which these Global Impact+ Chairs are to be awarded. Internal
nomination is strongly suggested for the successful consideration of
candidates. Please contact isset at ualberta.ca for more details and if
interested by January 26th, 2026.
