Applications are invited for several positions in computer science: (a) Up to two senior, tenured David R. Cheriton Chairs in Software Systems are open for candidates with outstanding research records in software systems (very broadly defined). Successful applicants will be acknowledged leaders in their fields or have demonstrated the potential to become such leaders. These positions include substantial research support and teaching reduction. (b) One tenure-track or tenured position to enhance the School’s strength in areas that work with extremely large data sets. The School has several research groups with expertise related to this focus: algorithms, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, databases, human-computer interaction, information retrieval, networks and distributed systems, and security and privacy. Candidates in these (or other) areas, focusing on the collection, storage, analysis, etc., of extremely large data sets are encouraged to apply.
Successful applicants who join the University of Waterloo are expected to be leaders in research, have an active graduate-student program, and contribute to the overall development of the School. A Ph.D. in Computer Science, or equivalent, is required, with evidence of excellence in teaching and research. Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience, and appointments are expected to commence during the 2012 calendar year.
With over 70 faculty members, the University of Waterloo’s David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science is the largest in Canada.
