The Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University
(<a href="https://www.dal.ca/faculty/computerscience.html">https://www.dal.ca/faculty/computerscience.html</a>) invites applications for up to
three tenure-stream Assistant Professor positions in any area of research focus
for the Faculty
(<a href="https://www.dal.ca/faculty/computerscience/researchindustry/fcs_research.html">https://www.dal.ca/faculty/computerscience/researchindustry/fcs_research.html</a>).
In the Faculty of Computer Science, we are committed to having both a diverse student body and a diverse group of professors and instructors, and to creating an inclusive environment that supports all members of our community. The goal of the three advertised positions is to take an important step towards addressing the underrepresentation of women in Computer Science. Therefore, this position is restricted to candidates who self-identify as women.
ABOUT THE FACULTY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE: The Faculty has research clusters in Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction, Visualization & Graphics, Systems, Networks & Security, Algorithms & Bioinformatics, and Computer Science Education. More information is available at

Dalhousie's Faculty of Computer Science offers a supportive, inclusive, multicultural, research-oriented environment with a firm commitment to justice, equality, diversity, and inclusion. The Faculty offers reasonable teaching loads (with excellent TA support), and competitive pay and benefits (including health
insurance, dental insurance and an exceptional pension plan). The Faculty supports new hires with moving assistance and start-up funding. Early-career researchers will enjoy the collaborative lab environment; mentoring; peer support for teaching, research, and grant writing; and extensive ties to local industry.
The Faculty of Computer Science is a research-intensive unit that currently comprises over 50 faculty members, including Tier I and Tier II Canada Research Chairs, a CIFAR AI chair, and many cross-appointments and adjunct faculty members. We are a fast-growing faculty in the university, with approximately 1400 students, one third of whom are graduate students at the Master's or Doctoral level. The Faculty of Computer Science offers research-intensive and applied training at the undergraduate, Master’s, PhD, and postdoctoral levels, including the new Master of Digital Innovation program. The Faculty hosts the Dalhousie Institute for Big Data Analytics, which has academic and industry partnerships centred on deep learning and artificial intelligence. The Faculty
is also an integral partner of the recently launched Here We Code initiative to grow the digital economy in Nova Scotia.
