The College of Arts and Science at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada,
is actively seeking applications for a tenure-track appointment and Tier 2
Canada Research Chair in Privacy, Security and Data Management in the
Department of Computer Science (http://www.cs.usask.ca).

Appropriate areas of focus include, but are not limited to: Security,
Privacy or Management of Big Data, the Internet of Things, or the Web.

Recruitment will be guided by the Government of Canada Equity, Diversity
and Inclusion Action Plan for Canada Research Chairs (
http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/equity-
equite/index-eng.aspx
<http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/equityequite/index-eng.aspx>)
and by the strong commitment to employment equity and diversity of the
University of Saskatchewan, College of Arts and Science, and Department of
Computer Science. Applications from women and Indigenous persons are
especially encouraged and will be prioritized.

The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program is the flagship of a national
strategy to make Canada one of the world's top countries in research and
development (http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/
<http://www.chairschaires.gc.ca>). Tier 2 Chairs are intended for
exceptional emerging scholars (i.e. candidate must have been an active
researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of
nomination).   Applicants who are more than 10 years from their highest
degree (and where career breaks exist, including maternity leave, extended
sick leave, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Canada Research
Chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process.   Please
check the CRC program's website
<http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/home-accueil-eng.aspx> for eligibility
details or contact the university’s research grants office for more
information.

The successful candidate will have completed a PhD in Computer Science
within the eligibility period for a Tier 2 Chair nomination and should be
emerging as a nationally or internationally recognized scholar
demonstrating a strong potential for attracting competitively awarded
research funding. The candidate should have an exceptional research track
record, experience in interdisciplinary research partnerships and a
commitment to education. The successful candidate will build an
internationally-recognized program in security, privacy or data management
as applied in computer science, broadly defined. The Chair will attract and
maintain extramural funding, participate in graduate supervision, and
contribute to design and delivery of the department's undergraduate and
graduate curriculum.

The Department of Computer Science is the home of 22 faculty, 11 staff, and
more than 160 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in diverse
areas of computer science. The University of Saskatchewan is home to the
Canadian Light Source (synchrotron), the Global Institute for Food
Security, and the Global Institute for Water Security, centres with
significant and sophisticated data security, privacy and management needs.
The University has a reputation for excellence in research and scholarly
activities and teaching, offers a full range of undergraduate, graduate,
and professional programs to a student population of over 23,000, and is
committed to enhancing our national and global research standing. The city
of Saskatoon, with population of 250,000, is the largest city in the
Canadian Prairie province of Saskatchewan. It combines the advantages of
small town living (short commute, good public schools, safe neighbourhoods)
with a bustling arts community and cultural life (a symphony, several
theatres, a brand new art gallery, etc.).  The climate is continental, with
crispy cold sunny winters and dry warm summers.

Applications should be submitted by email to [log in to unmask]
and should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research
statement, a teaching dossier, and the names of at least three references,
at least one of which should be able to provide comments on the teaching
abilities of the applicant.  Review of applications will begin December 8,
2017; however, applications will be accepted and evaluated until the
position is filled. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2018.
