           FACULTY POSITIONS IN COMPUTING AND SOFTWARE

        		McMaster University
	              Faculty of Engineering
                Department of Computing and Software

McMaster University, is now offering an innovative programme,
that treats software engineering as a branch of engineering that
is distinct from both computer science and computer engineering.
Unlike Computer Science programmes, our Software Engineering
programme includes a great deal of traditional engineering
material and mathematics.  Unlike Computer Engineering programmes,
the new programme is no closer to Electrical Engineering than it
is to other Engineering programmes.  We have designed the new
program to meet the engineering accreditation criteria of the
Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

McMaster has formed a new department, Computing and Software, in the Faculty
of Engineering.  It offers both the new programme and an
established programs in Computer Science.  The department
currently has 18 faculty and is rapidly expanding.  To learn more
about our department, visit our web page at www.cas.mcmaster.ca.

We seek outstanding candidates, at all levels and from all areas
of Computing and Software, but are especially interested in
applicants working in:  performance prediction, optimization
(both discrete and continuous), biomedical computing, computers
in communication systems, computer security, distributed data
networks, high performance computing, real-time control systems,
and man-machine interfaces.

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 of 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 program 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 vitae, a statement detailing
research and teaching interests and the names of five referees
should be sent to:

        Dr. Paul A. Taylor, Chair
	Department of Computing and Software, 
	Faculty of Engineering, 
	McMaster University, 
	1280 Main St. West, 
	Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4L7.


Questions may also be sent to David Parnas, parnas@mcmaster.ca.
