Canada Research Chair (Tier II) - Modeling
College of Arts & Science
University of Saskatchewan

The College of Arts & Science at the University of Saskatchewan has a 
unique opportunity for a Tier II Canada Research Chair in the area of 
Mathematical Modeling. A Canada Research Chair appointment is one of the 
most prestigious opportunities of its kind in Canada.  Applications or 
nominations are encouraged from individuals who would provide vision and 
leadership in one or more of the following areas: Image Analysis, Complex 
Simulations, High Performance Computing, Nuclear Science, and Climate 
Change.  A successful candidate will have an excellent research track 
record in Applied Mathematics contributing to one or more application 
areas.

The selected candidate will be nominated for the Tier II Canada Research 
Chair and appointed to a tenure-track faculty position (the nature of the 
appointment will be determined at the time of hire). The candidate will be 
expected to establish an internationally leading research program, secure 
externally funded research, supervise postdoctoral fellows and graduate 
students, mentor junior faculty, and participate in graduate and 
undergraduate level teaching.  It is also expected that the candidate will 
take advantage of the extraordinary opportunities that exist at the 
University of Saskatchewan for multi-disciplinary interactions and 
groundbreaking collaborative research partnerships. The University of 
Saskatchewan is home to the Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron, the 
most ambitious science project in Canada in a generation. This new 
research tool, the Innovation Place Research Park, stimulating 
industrial/government partnerships, as well as the opportunity for 
innovative collaborative prospects at the twelve University Colleges, are 
unique in North America.

Located in the beautiful 'river city' of Saskatoon in Canada's high-growth 
province, and next door to a great untouched wilderness, the University of 
Saskatchewan and the College of Arts and Science is poised for 
unprecedented growth and transformation. Commitments to the growth of the 
graduate student and post-doctoral population are embedded in our 
Strategic Plan. The University forms a dynamic partnership of scholars 
dedicated to challenging old notions and creating new ideas to share with 
our students. We offer a thriving intellectual climate, countless 
opportunities for partnerships and collaboration in the heart of one of 
the world's most charming campuses. To learn more about the College of 
Arts and Science visit: http://artsandscience.usask.ca.

Interested candidates should submit curriculum vitae, a research plan, a 
teaching dossier and the name, mailing address, email address and phone 
number of at least four references to:
