Candidates are encouraged to share any career interruptions or personal circumstances that may have had an impact on their career goals, such as the decision to have a family, eldercare, illness, and so forth, in their letter of application.
 * The ideal candidate will be a scholar, or a scholar-creator, with outstanding promise to be a leading voice in Indigenous Oral Tradition and/or Oral History, as these forms of knowledge and practice pertain to their own particular research focus. The successful candidate will be expected to undertake their chairship in such a way that maintains a living connection to an Indigenous community. The successful candidate will have a track record of Indigenous mentorship and community research partnerships, or can demonstrate the potential to develop such mentoring and partnerships. The successful candidate is expected to lead a CFI funding application that could result, for example, in a mobile story-sharing lab, further facilitating collaborative research with Indigenous communities.
 * Please consult the Canada Research Chairs website for full program information, including further details on eligibility criteria. Candidates should submit the following: cover letter, CV, three letters of recommendation (sent separately), teaching evaluations (if applicable), statement of research, and one sample publication to History.Chair@concordia.ca

 * Review begins: 1 Oct. 2019
 * [Oct. 20] Any word on this? [Not yet, though I imagine they were bombarded with applications -- Oct. 22]
 * [Oct 22] Recieved email on October 10 stating they would be looking at them over the next two weeks. So maybe we will hear something later this week?
 * [Oct 22] Was that an automated email or one sent in response to a query?
 * [Oct 22] Automated
 * [Oct 22] Interesting, I only received the automated response from Interfolio upon submission of the application, nothing since. x5
 * [Nov 5] Just noticed that interfolio notes that materials are due October 29. I don't recall that being there previously. Maybe deadline was extended?
 * I noticed the same thing when I submitted on September 30. My thought at the time was that the different deadlines were a way to work around the quirks of deadlines in interfolio. Basically, the ad said that review begins on Oct. 1, but, if they wanted to keep the Interfolio platform open for submissions past Oct. 1, they would have had to assign an arbitrary, later date such as Oct 29. Anyway, it's not new and this is just my guess.
 * [Nov 11] Has anyone heard anything?
