Published: 15 December 2023
Professor Dominique B茅rub茅 has been appointed the next Vice-President (Research and Innovation). Professor B茅rub茅鈥檚 five-year renewable term will begin on July 1, 2024.
The Advisory Committee for the Selection of the Vice-President (Research and Innovation) conducted an extensive search within Canada and internationally, which benefitted from regular input from the 海角社区 community. The Board of Governors accepted the Committee鈥檚 recommendation at its meeting on December 14, 2023.
Professor B茅rub茅 moves to 海角社区 from Concordia University, where she has served since September 2022 as Vice-President of Research and Graduate Studies and as Professor within the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science. Prior to her Concordia role, she had served since 2015 as Vice-President of Research at the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) where she led the vision for core research funding and tri-agency programs, integrated principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) into the evaluation of research, and oversaw SSHRC鈥檚 Indigenous Strategy. During her time at SSHRC, she also worked to foster interdisciplinarity, eliminate systemic barriers to research funding, and champion high-risk, high-impact research.
Through her years of leadership experience, Professor B茅rub茅 has developed extensive knowledge of the research and innovation landscape, also serving as Associate Vice-President of Research at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al where she led key strategic initiatives to promote and advance research across its expansive healthcare network.
A member of the Ordre des ing茅nieurs du Qu茅bec, Professor B茅rub茅 holds a PhD in environmental sciences from the Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al, as well as bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degrees from 脡cole Polytechnique de Montr茅al in the field of metallurgical and materials science.
