The Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering seeks an outstanding emerging researcher for the Gina Cody Research Chair. The five-year research chair is renewable and comes with an attractive research package. This position is intended for an exceptional, early or mid-career scholar with interests in all areas of computer science and software engineering, and with the potential to be a leader in their field. Duties include research, teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and service to the institution. This is a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, but exceptional candidates at the Associate Professor level may also be considered.

Qualifications and assets
Candidates must have completed their PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related discipline, or be near completion at the start date of the appointment. Membership or eligibility for membership in a Canadian professional engineering association, preferably in Quebec, is required.

The main criteria for selection are scholarly and teaching excellence. The successful candidate shall be an emerging researcher with the potential to be a leader in their field and will provide evidence of high-quality scholarly output that demonstrates potential for independent research leading to peer assessed publications in top-tier venues and the securing of external research funding, as well as strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Industrial experience will be a definite asset.
