Well, they failed to interview and hire many good candidates the previous year. One has to think they are not really serious in trying to fill this position.
ReplyDeleteThe University of Waterloo is also hiring. The call is for research chairs (junior and senior). The chairs come with teaching reductions as well as funding.
ReplyDeleteThe area is "software systems (broadly defined)". Translation: researchers in any field in computer science whose research has direct ties to applications including big swaths of algorithms (e.g. streaming algorithms, text searching, compression, etc.) and computational geometry (e.g. spatial data bases, etc.).
See here.
Advice following my personal experience in applying for a tenure at McGill (taking it for granted that you are qualified):
ReplyDelete- either you know somebody who knows somebody and no fear!
- or you do not know anybody and should be ready to take up the matter to the ombudsman.
In the latter case don't let the grass grow under your feet - make sure you know the day of the selection process and have it confirmed that your file is not "misplaced".
