Job Description:
Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Additive Manufacturing Materials and Processes
The University of Manitoba is seeking applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Additive Manufacturing Materials and Processes. These chairs were established by the Government of Canada to foster world class research excellence in Canadian Universities (www.chairs.gc.ca). With a reduced teaching and administrative load, the Chair will be expected to pursue a vigorous research program in the field of additive manufacturing of metals and ceramic materials and processes based in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. The CRC chair has been created to take advantage of a new state-of-the-art University characterization facility (www.materials.umanitoba.ca), which has been funded through partnerships with SFR, FEI, GE, CIC, Western Economic Diversification, the Province of Manitoba and the University of Manitoba, and in addition an extensively equipped Department of Mechanical Engineering Materials and Manufacturing laboratory. The addition of this Chair will be a critical step in building capacity and establishing a world-class research environment in the University of Manitoba’s strategic priority area of New Materials and Technologies.
DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
The ideal candidate should have a record of research excellence in the field of process design in additive manufacturing of metals and ceramics, hold a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or Metallurgical Engineering, and be eligible for registration with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Manitoba. The position represents an exciting opportunity for individuals who are emerging scholars with demonstrated potential of becoming recognized internationally as leaders in their field and who are currently in the rank commensurate with CRC guidelines (for eligibility consult http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/nomination-mise_en_candidature-eng.aspx#s2). In addition, the individual should: have a superior record of attracting and supervising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and, as a chairholder, be expected to attract, develop and retain excellent trainees, students and future researchers; and be proposing an original, innovative research program of the highest quality. The position represents an exciting opportunity for an outstanding and innovative researcher whose accomplishments have made a major impact in Additive Manufacturing.
Review of applications will commence on December 15, 2015 and will continue until the position is filled. Applications including complete curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, a sample of 3 peer-reviewed publications, a statement of their teaching philosophy, names of three referees and contact information should be sent via email, referencing Position Numbers: 21228/21229 to:
David Kuhn, Professor and Head, Department of Mechanical Engineering
C/O Ms. Kris Nabess, Department of Mechanical Engineering
By using the APPLY button.
Application materials will be handled in accordance with the protection of privacy of the “Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act” (Manitoba). Please note that curriculum vitae and other documentation may be provided to participating members of the search process.
Note that all Chairs are subject to review and final approval by the CRC secretariat.
The appointment will commence in late 2016 or as may be mutually agreed upon. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
