This Research Chairs Program was made possible by a grant from the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada and financial support from the Government of Canada provided through Global Affairs Canada (GAC). It is administered by the AIMS Global Secretariat within the framework of the Mathematical Science for Climate Change Resilience Program.

  • Experience supervising Master’s and/or PhD students;
  • Ability to take up the Chair by the end of 2018.

Selection Criteria

  • Quality of applicant: academic qualifications; quality of publications; experience in climate change-related research; real-world impact and recognition (e.g. through awards) of prior work.
  • Quality of proposed research: relevance to climate change modelling, practice and policy; strength of connection to the mathematical sciences; experience of applicant in research topic; quality of research design; feasibility; suitability of proposed research environment(s); quality and realism of budget projections.
