RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (TRF)

SaskPower Chair in Power Systems Engineering
The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the
University of Saskatchewan invites applications from qualified
individuals for a senior chair in power systems. This is a tenured
full professor position with a competitive salary and significant
research funding. The Chair will have an exceptional opportunity to
maximize research collaboration with a prominent industry partner,
SaskPower. Creation of the Chair recognizes and builds on the historical
preeminence of the Department in research related to power systems
engineering. Once appointed, the SaskPower Chair will immediately
pursue an NSERC Senior Industrial Research Chair (IRC).
The successful candidate must hold an earned Ph.D. in electrical
engineering and be eligible for registration as a professional engineer
in Saskatchewan. The ideal candidate will be an internationally
recognized researcher working on smart grid technologies applied
to power systems, with an outstanding track record, both in terms
of publications and the training of highly-qualified personnel.
Complementing the current faculty, the successful candidate is
expected to provide leadership to the department's teaching and
research programs in power systems engineering. The successful
candidate will have demonstrated the ability to work collaboratively
and effectively with colleagues in both academia and industry.
Proud of its history and thriving within Saskatchewan's prosperous and
growing economy, the College of Engineering is dedicated to developing
tomorrow's leaders and professionals through teaching, research, and
service. The College currently offers degrees at the undergraduate (B.Sc.)
and post-graduate (M.Eng., M.Sc. and Ph.D.) levels in a wide range of
disciplines to more than 1,600 undergraduate and 320 graduate students.
Located on one of Canada's most beautiful campuses, the University
of Saskatchewan is internationally recognized for its contributions to
teaching, scholarship, research and innovation. The university's community
comprises more than 18,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate
students, 7,500 faculty and staff and offers a wide selection of degrees,
diplomas and certificates in more than 100 areas and disciplines.

Professor / Assistant Professor
(Tenure Track) Networked Systems

SaskPower is the main electric utility in Saskatchewan, and is owned
by the Province of Saskatchewan. Following its vision of becoming
a world leading utility through innovation, performance and service,
fueled by the growing Saskatchewan economy, SaskPower has a
very ambitious program for development and system renewal. With
many active projects in innovative areas from Clean Coal to Advanced
Metering, covering generation, transmission and distribution
specific applications, the cooperation between the new Chair, the
College of Engineering, and SaskPower is expected to provide
many exciting research project opportunities in power systems.

The Department of Information Technology and Electrical
Engineering (www.ee.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications
for a tenured professorship or tenure-track assistant professorship in Networked Systems.

Interested individuals are requested to submit via email a curriculum
