The DIRO is seeking candidates for a full-time tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor starting on June 1, 2017. We are seeking candidates of exceptional scientific talent who have demonstrated research success and shown evidence of high potential in software engineering aspects of one or more of the following fields: mobile computing, cloud computing, parallel computing, and swarm intelligence (e.g. cyber-physical systems or swarm robotics).
The position requires a Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related area and a proven publication record, illustrating the candidate's ability to publish influential work at top-tier venues. The appointed candidate will be expected to teach at the bachelor, masters, and Ph.D. level, supervise graduate students, engage in state-of-the-art research, publish at the highest international level, and contribute to the academic life and reputation of the University.

The Université de Montréal is a Quebec university with an international reputation. French is the teaching language. Nevertheless, non-French speaking candidates are welcome to apply, since the university is intensively recruiting the world's best specialists to renew its teaching faculty. Furthermore, the university provides support for newly-recruited faculty to attain proficiency in French within a reasonable period of time.

A complete application must include: a cover letter, curriculum vitae, copies of up to three recent publications demonstrating the candidate's research performance at the highest levels of the field, a research statement, and a teaching statement. Three letters of recommendation must also be sent directly to the Department Chair by the referees.
The application and letters of recommendation must be sent to the Chair of the DIRO by November 30, 2016 at the following address (the complete application package may also be sent by e-mail to sahraouh@iro.umontreal.ca):
