Job Order Detail

Description

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) invites applications for a tenured faculty position as a senior Industrial Research Chair in the area of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). CPS tightly couple cyber components, such as computation, network communication and control, with physical systems. An important aspect that sets the design of CPS apart from traditional embedded systems is the need to understand the joint dynamics of the cyber components and physical system. One of the department goals for this position is to leverage existing strengths (such as embedded systems, smart grids, sensor networks and communications) to better respond to CPS opportunities and to facilitate collaboration beyond ECE. A CPS research area that would fit well with this goal is one that focuses on the intersection of embedded computing networks and physical systems, for example, networked control of a distributed physical process.  

Commensurate with qualifications and experience, this is a tenured faculty position at the rank of full professor in scope of the University of Saskatchewan Faculty Association (USFA). This position comes with a comprehensive benefits package, which includes pension plan, life insurance (compulsory and voluntary), academic long term disability, sick leave, travel insurance, death benefit, dental plan, extended health and vision care plan, employee assistance program and flexible health and wellness spending program.
