Deadline : September 28th, 5:00 PM EST


The department of computer science of the Université du Québec à Montréal (https://info.uqam.ca<https://info.uqam.ca/>) seeks highly qualified candidates for one tenure track position in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) including, but not limited to: analysis, design, development and evaluation of interactive software and devices; voice recognition; computer vision; haptics; augmented and virtual reality; visualization; ergonomy and accessibility; user experience; modeling, adaptation and personalization; intelligent interfaces and AI methods for HCI; digital & video games and interactive media; graphical, web and mobile interfaces. The official announcement is here (RH UQAM<https://www.rhu.uqam.ca/AffichageProfs/21007541.pdf>).



Exceptional candidates in related fields will be considered. In particular, we welcome candidates with a cognitive science background who can teach computer science courses at the undergraduate and graduate level.



Professors are expected to: 1) conduct high-quality sustainably fundable research;  2) teach at the undergraduate, Master's and PhD levels; 3) supervise graduate students in one of three Master's programs in Computer Science, Data Science, and Software Engineering or three PhD programs in computer science, cognitive informatics, and mathematics; and 4) perform the usual administrative duties (curriculum committees, graduate student admissions committees, etc.). All new hires get start-up research funds, reduced teaching load and waivers of administrative duties for the first two years.



The computer science department has over 1300 students, at the undergraduate and graduate levels, millions of dollars in research funding, and 35 professors, doing research on various AI specialties (symbolic, machine learning, planning, etc.), bioinformatics, internet application engineering, microsystem design and manufacturing, telecommunications and embedded systems, and theoretical computer science.



The department of Computer Science is part of the Faculté des Sciences, which includes math, biology, chemistry, earth sciences, environmental studies, and kinesiology, and is embedded in the heart of Montreal's cultural center (www.quartierdesspectacles.com), with lots to do around campus. The Université du Québec à Montréal  (www.uqam.ca) is a progressive, collegial, urban university, with a long tradition in equal opportunity and affirmative action policies for women, minorities, and people with disabilities. UQAM offers a competitive compensation package, commensurate with qualifications and seniority. The language of instruction being French, candidates are expected to be already fluent in French, or willing and able to become fluent in a reasonable amount of time.



Montreal is a dynamic, multicultural, scientific, technological, and cultural metropolis, with over 200000 students, attending four major universities, and many research institutes, a thriving high-tech industry (IT, aeronautics, pharmaceutical), and an effervescent year-around cultural scene. It is also one of the safest, most affordable cities in North America.



Québec and Canada have a number of research funding agencies that fund collaborative research with industry (FRQ, MITACS, NSERC, PROMPT, etc.) through various generous matching funds programs.



Interested candidates are invited to submit electronically their cover letter (addressed to the hiring committee), resume, teaching statement, research statement, and a sample of four publications, and arrange to have three letters of reference sent directly to the faculty search committee at dept.info at uqam.ca<mailto:dept.info at uqam.ca>. To ensure consideration, please make sure that we receive everything (including the reference letters) no later than September 28th, at 5:00 pm (UTC-0500).
