Canada Research Chairs (CRC)
Established in 2000 by the Government of Canada, the Canada Research Chair Program helps chairholders achieve research excellence while improving Canada’s depth of knowledge and strengthening the country’s international competitiveness.
The following UBC Sauder faculty are current Canada Research Chairs:
Tim Huh
B.A., B.Math, M.Math (Waterloo), M.S., Ph.D. (Cornell)
Professor, Operations and Logistics Division
Professor in Operations and Supply Chain Management
Canada Research Chair in Operations Excellence and Business Analytics
"The Canada Research Chair has helped me to connect with companies and government agencies so that I can learn more about their problems and access their data. It has also helped me recruit outstanding graduate students."
Yenwan Wang
BA (Fudan), MPhil (UNSW), PhD (Emory)
Assistant Professor, Marketing and Behavioral Science Division
Canada Research Chair in Marketing Analytics
“My research greatly benefits from the wonderful collaborations I have enjoyed with faculty and students at UBC, as well as across the world. The Canada Research Chair has allowed me to get more collaboration opportunities outside my focal research area, get access to data sets from companies and government agencies, as well as conducting more inter-disiplinary studies. It has helped shape my research agenda in very positive ways.”
Ralph Winter
BSc (UBC), MA, PhD (Berkeley)
Canada Research Chair in Business Economics and Policy
Professor, Strategy and Business Economics Division
"The Canada Research Chair, along with the tremendous support of UBC Sauder, has allowed me a greater focus on research than is normally possible at a major business school. It has also allowed me to travel for seminars and to international conferences attended by the top scholars in my field."
