Two Tier II Canada Research Chairs in Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University invites 
applications for Tier II Canada Research Chairs in Mathematics. The Canada 
Research Chair Program is supported by the Government of Canada and was 
established to enable Canadian universities to achieve the highest levels 
of research excellence. Information about the program may be found at 
http://www.chairs.gc.ca. It is anticipated that the successful candidates 
would take up the position in September, 2008 or January 2009.

Tier II Canada Research Chairs will be appointed at the Assistant or 
Associate Professor level and will ordinarily be less than 10 years from 
completion of the Ph. D. The initial appointment is for five years, with 
the possibility of renewal for a second five-year term.

Position 1
The Department welcomes applicants with outstanding research programs 
consistent with the strategic research plan of Simon Fraser University 
(www.sfu.ca/vpresearch/SRP.html). While applications from researchers in 
all areas of mathematics are encouraged, we seek an individual 
specializing in mathematics with industrial connections. The Chairholder 
will provide scientific leadership within the Department of Mathematics 
and in conjunction with the MITACS Network.

Position 2
The Department welcomes applicants with outstanding research programs 
consistent with the strategic research plan of Simon Fraser University 
(www.sfu.ca/vpresearch/SRP.html).  Applications from researchers in all 
areas of mathematics are encouraged. The Chairholder will provide 
scientific leadership within the Department of Mathematics and in 
conjunction with the MITACS Network.

For both positions, researchers that can contribute to or extend existing 
departmental strengths are of particular interest. Please see our website 
(www.math.sfu.ca) for current information on research fields. The primary 
criterion for selection will be the excellence of the candidates.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and 
permanent residents will be given priority. Simon Fraser University is 
committed to an equity employment program that includes special measures 
to achieve diversity among its faculty and staff. We therefore 
particularly encourage applications from all qualified applicants, 
including women, First Nations people, persons with disabilities, and 
members of visible minorities. Applications, including a statement of 
interest, a curriculum vitae, and descriptive statements about research 
plans and teaching activities should be sent by Dec. 15, 2007 to

Applicants should also arrange for six letters of reference to be sent to 
the same address by the closing date. Applications may be considered at 
the discretion of the search committee until the position is filled.

We thank all applicants in advance for their interest, but only those 
short-listed will be contacted.
