Software Engineering at Concordia University, in Montreal, seeks
an outstanding candidate for the Gina Cody Research Chair in
Artificial Intelligence at the rank of Associate or Full
Professor. The five year research chair is renewable and comes
with an attractive research package. The ideal candidate is an
internationally recognized researcher with an exceptional
scholarly record, and has proven leadership qualities, and the
ability to collaborate with industry. She/he is expected to
demonstrate a commitment to the supervision of Masters and PhD
students and attract strong external funding. Areas of expertise
include, but are not limited to: fundamental research in machine
learning or deep learning, and applications to areas such as
