'A Canadian university is advertising five research positions, but applicants must be a part of the LGBTQ+ community to apply.

Memorial University of Newfoundland posted five new Canada Research Chair (CRC) positions that are open to current employees of the liberal arts school, but there's a catch.

In order to be eligible to apply, the applicant has to be a member of an equity group, including the 2SLGBTQIA+ people, a woman, Indigenous, a racialized person, or a disabled, according to the job postings viewed by the Daily Mail.

The five-to-seven-year gig, which pays up to $200,000 CAD ($145,000 USD) annually, currently has positions open for a chair in computational biochemistry, a chair in AI-driven navigation for Arctic and harsh environments, and a chair in musculoskeletal health and genomic map of the Newfoundland, among others.

Previously, CRC roles, posted in 2022, did not carry the same requirements.

Three of the current positions are also expected to lead to a tenured or tenure-track job after completion of the research fellowship.'
