The Ryerson department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science has a tenure-track position in Computer Science beginning January 1, 1989 in the School of Computer Science. We are seeking individuals with solid undergraduate and graduate backgrounds in Computer Science who will dedicate themselves to teaching at the undergraduate level and simultaneously commit to some applied research in their specialty area in Computer Science. The successful candidate will also be expected to participate fully in the planning process and be prepared to undertake curriculum development. The department administers the School of Computer Science which offers a 4 year Bachelors' degree in Applied Computer Science. Facilities include, microcomputers, minicomputers and access to the Institute mainframes. Although preferred qualifications would include a Ph.D. in Computer Science, serious consideration will be given to Masters' degree holders in Computer Science, especially if accompanied by some industrial experience. In accordance with Ryerson's Employment Equity policy, this advertisement is directed equally to women and men and, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Submit resume and references by 15th November, 1988 to: Mr. V.M.Kushnir, Chair, Dept. of Math, Physics, & Computer Science Ryerson Polytechnical Institute 350 Victoria Street Toronto, Ontario M5B 2K3 ---------------------------------------end of official posting-------------- The following is my biased PERSONAL OPINION: I have been teaching at Ryerson for 7 years. Courses I teach include Computer Graphics, Operating Systems, Compiler Design & Implementation, Software Engineering. Other courses include, Data Structures, several AI courses, Data Base, Data Communications, Distributed Systems, Comparitive Languages. It is an enjoyable place to teach. Research possibilities are limited, although there is currently pressure to increase research. Starting pay is relatively good (probably better than at most universities although the career peak is probably lower) and you get 2-3 months of summer vacation. Teaching loads are heavier than at e.g. UofT. This job would be of interest to someone not terribly interested in playing the research game, but interested in teaching intelligent and enthusiastic undergraduates. There is a 3 semester thesis project in the students' 3rd and 4th years which provides some opportunities for applied research. A recent Ph.D. (or Masters, particularly if female) would be in an excellent position for this job. There is a good possibility of an additional position coming open in March-May, so send in your resume if you're interested. Feel free to mail me any question you might have. ../Dave
