related field; 
- Evidence of excellence in teaching at a post-secondary institution; 
- Evidence of an established and innovative research program and a record of

The University of Ottawa is very proud of its 160-year tradition of
bilingualism. Through its Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute, the
University provides training to staff members and to their spouses in their
second official language. At the time of tenure, professors are expected to
have the ability to function in a bilingual setting and to teach in both
official languages. English-French bilingualism is thus an asset.
