		FACULTY POSITIONS IN COMPUTING AND SOFTWARE

McMaster University, recognised in national surveys as one of the
most innovative universities in Canada, has a new department,
COMPUTING AND SOFTWARE, in the Faculty of Engineering.  It offers
a unique new programme in Software Engineering and an established
programme in Computer Science. The department currently has 21
faculty and is rapidly expanding. 

We are seeking new colleagues at all levels.  We seek outstanding
candidates from all areas of Software Engineering and Computer
Science, but we are especially interested in applicants working
in:  performance prediction, biomedical computing, computers in
communication systems, computer security, distributed data
networks, high performance computing, real-time control systems,
man-machine interfaces, and software design methods.

We treat Software Engineering as a branch of engineering distinct
from Computer Engineering and Computer Science.  We have designed
our new programme to meet the engineering accreditation criteria of
the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.  Ability to be
registered as a Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario,
or become registered within three years of appointment, will be
considered an advantage.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in engineering, computer science,
mathematics or a related field.  We consider creative experience
in industry to be as relevant as academic experience.  All our
faculty members are expected to teach graduate, undergraduate, and
service courses as well as supervise graduate student research.
They must have a strong and demonstrated commitment to research in
a university environment and will have normal faculty
administrative and committee responsibilities.

McMaster University has an employment equity programme that
encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including
women, aboriginal people, persons with disabilities and visible
minorities.  In accordance with Canadian Immigration requirements,
priority will be given to Canadian citizens or permanent residents
of Canada.

Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Applications, including a curriculum vita, a statement detailing
research and teaching interests and the names of five referees
should be sent to:  Chair, Department of Computing and Software,
Faculty of Engineering, McMaster University, 1280 Main St.  West,
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4L7.

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
