Becoming an INQ-Affiliated Researcher
Institut nordique du Québec (INQ) invites researchers who wish to contribute to INQ's mission and activities to follow the membership process outlined below.
Eligibility
Interested researchers must:
- Hold a faculty position at one of INQ's regular member institutions.
- Conduct research on topics relevant to northern and Arctic regions and aligned with INQ's Research Strategy. Researchers whose expertise is not specifically focused on the North but who can contribute innovative solutions or address challenges specific to these remote regions are also encouraged to join the INQ community.
Application Submission
Researchers must submit their application by email to info@inq.ulaval.ca. The application must include the following:
- An up-to-date CV (any format)
- A signed Researcher Commitment (download the document)
- A portrait photo
- A few general keywords describing your research topics
- A description of your research expertise (maximum 250 words)
- The INQ Research pillar or pillars with which you wish to affiliate (select one primary pillar and, if desired, a secondary pillar)
Application Review
Once the application has been submitted, it will be reviewed by INQ's scientific leadership, who will assess its relevance and alignment with the Institute's activities.
Following this review, INQ's scientific leadership will submit its recommendation to INQ's Executive Committee. Please note that the committee meets at least twice a year. The committee will review the recommendation and make the final decision regarding membership.
Membership Decision
INQ's administrative office will contact applicants to inform them of the final decision regarding their membership. If accepted, the researcher will be officially recognized as an INQ-affiliated researcher and will gain access to the Institute's resources and collaborative network, as well as opportunities to participate in its activities.
