The Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University 
(https://www.cs.dal.ca) invites applications for up to two Tenure-Stream 
Assistant Professor positions in any area of Computer Science.

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.

Dalhousie is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada 
(http://www.discoverhalifaxns.com). Halifax is the largest city in 
Atlantic Canada and is vibrant, multicultural, and welcomes many 
newcomers. It is also a regional tech hub, and affords residents with a 
high quality of life. We enjoy a wide variety of restaurants, parks, 
playgrounds, watersports in the summer, snow sports in the winter, a 
vast number of arts and cultural events, an excellent library system, 
and a passable public transit system. Nova Scotia is home to many 
beautiful communities, campgrounds, trails, lakes, rivers, beaches, 
lighthouses and opportunities for running, hiking, cycling, ATVing, 
boating and generally exploring the great outdoors. Located in one of 
Canada’s more temperate areas, Nova Scotia gets warm, sunny summers, 
long, colorful autumns and cool, snowy winters.

Dalhousie University is one Canada’s U15 group of research-intensive 
universities. The funding situation is excellent: active researchers 
have many opportunities for both investigator-led operating grants and 
support for industry collaboration.

The Faculty of Computer Science is a research focused faculty with over 
40 faculty members, including Tier I and Tier II Canadian Research 
Chairs. Around one third of our 1400 students are enrolled in master’s 
or doctoral programs. The Faculty also partners with other faculties and 
departments (including management, medicine and statistics) to offer 
various multi-disciplinary study streams under the Master of Digital 
Innovation and is an active participant in the Interdisciplinary PhD 
program.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding scholar who holds or 
will have completed a PhD in Computer Science or a related area by the 
appointment date. Evidence of a strong commitment to and aptitude for 
both research and teaching is essential. The ideal candidate will be 
open to collaborative research within the Faculty.

Applicants should have demonstrated potential to establish independent 
scholarly research. The successful candidate will teach both 
undergraduate and graduate courses, develop graduate-level courses, and 
support the Faculty’s initiatives. The applicant will be expected to 
establish a strong externally funded research program, supervise 
graduate student research, and foster existing and new collaborations 
with government, industry, and with other members of Dalhousie’s 
research community.

Dalhousie University is committed to fostering a collegial culture 
grounded in diversity and inclusiveness. The university encourages 
applications from Indigenous persons, persons with a disability, 
racially visible persons, women, persons of a minority sexual 
orientation and/or gender identity, and all candidates who would 
contribute to the diversity of our community. For more information, 
please visit https://www.dal.ca/hiringfordiversity. All qualified 
candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent 
residents will be given priority.

Applications must include an application letter, curriculum vitae, 
statements of research and teaching interests, sample publications, and 
the names and full contact information of three referees.

Applicants are encouraged to indicate in their research statement how 
they see their research fit in one or more of the Faculty’s research 
concentrations, described in
https://www.dal.ca/faculty/computerscience/research-industry/fcs_research.html

Review of applications will commence on January 15, 2021. However, 
applications will be accepted and reviewed until the position is filled.

All application materials should be submitted directly at 
http://dal.peopleadmin.ca/postings/4973 except for the letters of 
reference; please arrange for your referees to forward letters of 
reference directly to appointments at cs.dal.ca by the above deadline.
