The Department of Computer Science at the University of Regina invites
applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Theoretical Computer
Science or Machine Learning, starting July 1, 2023. The successful candidate
will join a vibrant department of highly motivated researchers and educators
including several world-renowned experts in their respective fields.
Candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field
by the time of appointment and be committed to excellence in the three pillars
of academia: research, teaching, and service, which will be used as the
criteria to evaluate and rank the applications. Details on these criteria are
provided below.
We are seeking a candidate who has an exceptional research record in either
Theoretical Computer Science (including, but not limited to, algorithms,
computational complexity, computational geometry, computational learning
theory, coding theory, algorithmic game theory, formal language theory) or
Machine Learning. In particular, the successful candidate’s record will contain
publications in leading international venues in their specific field. The
successful candidate will initiate an independent research program, secure
external funding to support this research, and recruit and supervise graduate
students conducting research in their area of expertise. In their application,
candidates are to provide a research plan that shows potential for further
publications in leading international venues and for long-term external funding
from NSERC; potential for funding through industry partnerships will be
considered an additional asset.
Candidates are to provide evidence of teaching expertise and a teaching
philosophy. The successful candidate will demonstrate their ability to teach
core computer science courses in our undergraduate program, as well as courses
at the undergraduate and graduate levels that are aligned with their primary
research area.
Candidates are to demonstrate a commitment to academic service through
committee work, peer review activities, and the support of other academic work
(e.g., conference or workshop organization, conducting academic skills
seminars). The successful candidate will be a willing participant in academic
service, both within the Department/University and within the broader academic
community.
Applications must be submitted online at https://urcareers.uregina.ca
<https://urcareers.uregina.ca/> by January 24, 2023, and should include a cover
letter, a curriculum vitae, names and contact details of three references, a
