The University of Western Ontario Proposals

Canada Excellence Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging
Cognitive neuroscience and imaging is an interdisciplinary area investigating the neural bases of perception, memory, attention, self-awareness, motor control and language. The Chair in Neuroscience and Imaging would complement existing strengths at The University of Western Ontario, where diverse disciplines are brought to bear on common problems of mind and brain. The key technology allowing cognitive neuroscience to advance in recent years has been neuroimaging of the living brain. The success of future research in this important area lies in bridging traditional disciplines and developing innovative new ways of imaging brain function in health and disease.

Canada Excellence Research Chair in Environmentally Friendly Processing
of Canadian Petroleum Resources and Biofuels
This Chair would be an international leading-edge researcher with a proven track record in environmentally friendly processing of petroleum products and biofuels. They would complement the existing skills at The University of Western Ontario with unique qualifications and industrial experience, and build on Western's exceptional strength, expertise and facilities in this field to achieve a meaningful beneficial impact on industry and society. The Chair would help Western become recognized worldwide as the leading group in the processing of fossil and renewable resources, their upgrading and their market integration.
