Canada Research Chairs at CAMH - Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Toronto’s Canada Research Chair (CRC) program is administered by the University in partnership with nine affiliated hospitals in the Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network (TASHN). 

This website complements the information provided on the University’s website and provides information specific to CAMH, including postings for available Canada Research Chair opportunities at CAMH.

Please consult the CRC website to learn more about the federal program’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Practices that aim to increase transparency within the program and which also requires firm targets to increase nationally the number of chair holders from the four designated groups as defined by the CRC program: women; Aboriginal peoples; persons with disabilities; and members of visible minorities.
