Tier 2 Canada Research Chairs are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. A Chair is tenable for five years and renewable once. For each Tier 2 Chair, the institution receives $100,000 annually for five years.
Nominees for Tier 2 Chair positions must be emerging scholars. They should, at a minimum, be assistant or associate professors, or possess the necessary qualifications to be appointed to these levels.
