Applications are invited for the position of DIRECTOR of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). PIMS is a consortium of mathematical scientists at Simon Fraser University, the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge, the University of Regina, the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Victoria and the University of Washington. PIMS is supported by these universities, the federal government of Canada through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the provincial governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

The Director will have a distinguished record of scholarship in the mathematical sciences and will possess superior leadership and management skills. The Director will provide leadership at all PIMS sites for all components of the Institute's mandate:
* promotion of research in the mathematical sciences
* support of education, training and communication in the mathematical sciences
* creation of links and partnerships between mathematical scientists in the academic community and the private and government sectors
* enhancement and creation of mathematical partnerships within Canada and with groups throughout the world.

The Director will be a member of the PIMS Scientific Review Panel, will oversee the PIMS Central Office in Vancouver, will ensure continued good relations with Canada's federal and provincial governments and their appropriate agencies and will explore new opportunities for growth with these and other agencies. The PIMS Director is expected to play a continued leadership role in PRIMA (the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association) and is also Director of the Unité Mixte Internationale of the CNRS at PIMS.

The Director must currently hold a faculty appointment at one of the PIMS member universities.
