University of Manitoba - Faculty of Science - Distinguished Professors of the Faculty of Science

Distinguished Professors of the Faculty of Science

The University confers the title of Distinguished Professor on a limited number of academic staff members who have earned an outstanding reputation in teaching and research or creative scholarship. Only three titles can be conferred in each year. Candidates are selected by a committee of external scholars, and recipients are chosen by three external referees. This page includes current and former Faculty of Science Distinguished Professors.
