The Faculty of Science invites applications for a Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) appointment in computer simulation in healthcare at the rank of associate or Full Professor with tenure.
We welcome submissions from researchers with a strong track-record of research in simulation, with a focus on the development and understanding of fundamental algorithms and tools enabling simulation across healthcare applications. Diverse perspectives to address complex problems in healthcare simulation are sought. We especially encourage candidates from underrepresented groups in the field and with demonstrated experience in mentoring such students.
To see the full position posting, please visit Carleton University’s Deputy Provost’s website at https://carleton.ca/deputyprovost/jobs/academics/.
Research Areas of Interest: The successful NSERC-funded applicant should have a strong track-record of research in simulation, with focus on development and understanding of fundamental algorithms and tools enabling simulation across healthcare specialties. Research on algorithms and tools should be oriented toward one or more of (1) human-computer interaction in simulation, with emphasis on augmented, virtual, or mixed reality systems, (2) methods in artificial intelligence or data science for processing sensor data with various applications, including interventional healthcare applications, (3) development of computer-assisted intervention systems, (4) other related topics and tools.
Research might relate to questions such as: How should we design physical or virtual interfaces for interaction with simulated individuals that are applicable across applications? How do we provide data-driven feedback and coaching to trainees based on performance in simulation? How do we integrate layers of information from multiple modalities (e.g. textual, visual, auditory) into simulation environments to promote learning? How can we design processes for rapidly prototyping high-fidelity simulation?
The Faculty of Science strongly encourages research that occurs at the intersection of these descriptions.
Tier 1 Chairs are intended for outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their field of study. For more details, please see the Canada Research Chairs Secretariat at https://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/ and the Carleton Office for Research Initiatives and Services at https://carleton.ca/coris/.
Appointment is conditional on the approval of the application by the CRC Program.
