candidates whose research is in theoretical models, algorithms and analysis of
algorithms. The appointment is intended to be at the rank of Assistant
Professor but
exceptional candidates at the Associate level may also be considered.

Applicants must possess a PhD degree in computer science, software
engineering or
computer engineering or a related area and also possess research and
development
expertise in the area of computer science theory and applications. A
successful candidate
is expected to provide academic leadership, establish a strong
externally funded research
program, demonstrated abilities to work in collaborative
multidisciplinary settings and
teach/develop both undergraduate and graduate courses. Strong
commitment to the
supervision of graduate student research and to excellence in teaching

Relevant industrial experience is an asset. Excellent communication
skills are required.
Membership or eligibility for membership in a Canadian professional
engineering
association, preferably in the province of Quebec, is essential.

Applications should consist of a cover letter, detailed curriculum
vitae, teaching and
research statements, and the names of at least four referees.
Applications should be
submitted by December 1, 2017 and will be reviewed on an ongoing basis
