                       Industrial Research Chair 	
     In Telecommunication Software System Reliability Engineering
                           Bell Canada/NSERC

  The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the
University of Waterloo seeks candidates for appointment to the Bell
Canada/NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Telecommunication Software
System Reliability Engineering.  The two chairholders will be appointed
as tenured or tenure-track faculty members in the Department of
Electrical and Computer Engineering. They should have a doctoral degree
in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science and
a strong commitment to research and teaching.
  The candidate for one of the two positions should be qualified at the
level of full professor.  He/she must have background and experience
relevant to the research orientation and activities of the Chair
including research record in software reliability engineering or
closely related area of expertise in software reliability/quality,
telecommunication industry experience or software systems development
experience and good understanding of the assumptions underlying
telecommunication software (or a willingness to work with the
industrial sponsor to acquire these).  Analytical capability in
reliability modeling is viewed to be equally important to the
background in the telecommunication industry.
  The candidate for the other position should be qualified for a 
tenured academic position.  He/she must have background and experience
relevant to the research orientation and activities of the Chair
including substantial industrial experience in development of
telecommunication software and research record in the field of
software reliability engineering.
  Candidates should send their resumes to:
