This is a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant or Associate Professor level. As the Chair is designed to attract new outstanding talent to the university system, industrial experience will be an asset and candidates who currently hold tenured university positions are not eligible to hold this Chair. To ensure continuous faculty renewal, the successful candidate will hold the Barber-Gennum Chair for a maximum of five years, after which the Chair holder will become a regular faculty member, while the Chair position will be used to support a new candidate. 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.
