Simon Fraser University
Engaging the World

Fulbright Visiting Research Chairs are intended for Canadian citizens who are exceptional scholars and/or experienced professionals who wish to conduct research and/or lecture in the United States. Fulbright Canada Visiting Research Chairs are pre-arranged affiliations that allow scholars to conduct research/lecture on subjects important to that university. Partner universities welcome the Fulbright Visiting Chairs into campus life and encourage them to engage with students, faculty, and the broader community. Fulbright Visiting Research Chairs can guest lecture in university courses, mentor students, lecture in public venues, network, and promote their research, while representing the Fulbright program, and their home and host institutions.

Eligibility: Candidates must be Canadian citizens, permanent residence is not sufficient, dual citizens (Canada-U.S.) are not eligible; hold a Ph.D. or equivalent professional/terminal degree as appropriate; proficiency in English; be in compliance with all Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) guidelines; and be in compliance with all governmental regulations regarding visas, immigration, travel and residence.

Note: While the competition is open to all disciplines, Fulbright Canada is particularly interested in encouraging research on contemporary issues relevant to Canada, the United States and the relationship between the 2 countries.
