Re: President’s Advisory Committee on the Appointment of a
Vice-President, Research – Call for Submissions


On June 30, Professor Paul Young will complete a five-year term as Vice-President Research and is eligible to be re-appointed.

Following consultation with colleagues and governors, I have now struck a committee to advise me on the appointment. The Committee’s first priority will be to provide advice on whether a search should be undertaken or re-appointment offered. Thereafter, the Committee will consider the scope of any search to be undertaken and provide advice on candidates for my consideration in making a recommendation to Governing Council.

The Advisory Committee, which I will chair, comprises the following individuals:

Professor Robert Baker (Vice-Dean, Research and Graduate Programs, Faculty of Arts and Science)
Professor Malcolm Campbell (Vice-Dean, Research, University of Toronto Scarborough) UTSC
Professor Robert Gibbs (Director, Jackman Humanities Institute, Faculty of Arts and Science)
Professor David Mock (Dean, Faculty of Dentistry)
Professor Mayo Moran (Dean, Faculty of Law)
Professor Kumar Murty (Chair, Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Arts and Science)
Professor Arthur Slutsky (Vice-President, Research, St. Michael’s Hospital)
Professor Elizabeth Smyth (Governor; Vice-Dean, Programs, School of Graduate Studies)
Mr. Keith Thomas (Governor; President and CEO, Vive Nano Inc.)
Ms. Morgan Vanek (Governor; Doctoral Student Department of English, Faculty of Arts and Science)
Mr. Chirag Variawa (Governor; Doctoral Student, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering)

Louis Charpentier, Secretary of the Governing Council, will serve as secretary.
