Qualifications
The search is restricted to candidates whose research and teaching interests are in the areas of Software Engineering and AI.
Education and Background
At the time of appointment, candidates are required to have a PhD in Computer Science or a related field. Previous academic experience, including post-doctoral or prior academic appointments will be considered an asset. Relevant industrial experience will also be taken into consideration.
Scholarship
The successful candidate should have remarkable scholarship in Computer Science with demonstrated impact. The candidate must propose an independent and fundable scholarship program in their Scholarship Statement and demonstrate their ability to conduct innovative scholarship that complements the school’s current scholarship strengths.
Teaching
The candidate must have a keen interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching. They must demonstrate their ability to teach university-level courses that align with their background. They should be capable of teaching core computer science undergraduate courses at all levels and graduate courses related to their scholarship area. Preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in supervising students and/or staff on scholarship-oriented projects.
Service
Evidence of community engagement is crucial, such as organizing conferences, participating in outreach, volunteering, or being involved in student clubs or councils. Such evidence demonstrates the candidate's ability to provide service to the School, University, and research community.
Expectations
The successful candidate is expected to establish an internationally recognized scholarship program and secure external funding from tri-council agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR) or similarly prestigious funding agencies. They will also be expected to supervise graduate students in the current MSc and PhD programs. The candidate will typically teach three courses per year at the undergraduate and graduate levels. 80% of their time will be divided equally between scholarship and teaching, with the remaining 20% for providing service to the School, College, University, and scholarship community at large.
