Jay Shankar
Manager, Institutional Programs
Office of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation
As the institutional programs manager, I collaborate extensively with units across the university, offering support and guidance relating to institutional programs that play a pivotal role in advancing institutional objectives such as the Canada Research Chairs, Canada Excellence Research Chairs, Canada 150 Research Chairs, and the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. My role involves managing and supporting recruitment and application processes, candidate onboarding, and institutional reporting for these diverse academic initiatives; it also involves supporting initiatives to ensure equity, diversity, and inclusion principles within the administration of these programs.
