OICR is looking to recruit a dynamic leader to sit on OICR’s voluntary Board and ultimately chair the Audit Finance and Risk Committee.

The priorities of the Board are to provide oversight of the implementation of the Institute’s strategic plan; to ensure succession planning for the renewal of the Board, the Scientific Advisory Board, and OICR’s executive team; to oversee financial performance and risk management; and to assess the performance of the organization.

While OICR is seeking to recruit one individual, this role may be split into two co-Chair roles, one overseeing audit and finance functions, and the other overseeing enterprise risk management (ERM). It is anticipated that the candidate(s) would join the Board in September 2022.

OICR is firmly committed to fostering a climate of equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in all its endeavors, believing this is central to — and mutually supportive of — their research excellence mandate.
