Canada Excellence Research Chair in
Digital Media Research and Innovation
The University of British Columbia (UBC) invites applications and nominations
for a Canada Excellence Research Chair in Digital Media Research and
Innovation in the UBC Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive
Systems (ICICS) www.icics.ubc.ca/.

Based in Vancouver, the candidate is expected to be appointed at the rank
of Professor, but researchers at earlier career stages are welcome to apply,
and applicants from research backgrounds outside of academic institutions
will be carefully considered.

The Canada Excellence Research Chairs (CERC) Program awards world-class
researchers up to $10 million over seven years to establish ambitious research
programs at Canadian universities. UBC has committed additional funding to a
Centre for Innovation in Digital Media to bring the overall level of support for this
program to $30 million, including four new faculty positions.

UBC hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity.
All qualified persons are encouraged to apply. We especially welcome
applications from members of visible minority groups, women, Aboriginal
persons, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations
and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to engage
productively with diverse communities. The University is also responsive
to the needs of dual career couples. Canada Excellence Research Chairs
are open to individuals of any nationality.

Working with a team of world-class colleagues who are exploring the frontiers
of science, the arts, and technology in this rapidly evolving area, you will be
instrumental in transforming and augmenting existing strengths in digital media
research. Under the founding leadership of this chair, the newly created Centre
for Innovation in Digital Media will envision and direct a research program that
spans a broad and interdisciplinary range of areas. The chair will train and
engage the next generation of graduates who will shape the frontiers of digital
media, as well as engaging in technology transfer with existing and emerging
industries and market opportunities.

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact our search
consultants, Barbara Morrison and Brent Cameron, at 1-604-685-0261,
or barbara.morrison@odgersberndtson.ca for more information.
Review of applications will begin in April/May 2013 and will continue until
the position has been filled.
