Description
Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Definite-Term Lecturer(s)

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo invites applications for five (5) full-time Definite-Term Lecturer positions with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2021. Priority areas for the Department include, but are not limited to, software engineering, electric circuits, control, and power engineering. While the initial appointments will be for a period of three years, there will be a possibility of renewal for a second three-year term, and of ongoing appointment thereafter as Continuing Lecturer on the basis of outstanding performance. Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related discipline; exceptionally, applicants without doctorates may be considered, but all applicants must demonstrate an ability to assess the state of the art critically, and to keep abreast of it, through involvement in research or advanced practice.

Preference will be given to candidates with exceptional teaching skills and, ideally, a documented ability to teach large undergraduate engineering courses. A background spanning a range of sub-disciplines of electrical and computer engineering is highly desirable; and a record of effective administrative service is also an asset, especially if it involves contributions to curriculum development. Although teaching is the primary duty of a Lecturer, successful candidates will have the opportunity to take part in other aspects of teaching, research, and university governance. Selected applicants must be licensed as Professional Engineers in Canada, or will be required to apply for a licence or a limited licence within one year of appointment.

Depending on qualifications, annual full time salary will typically range from $95,000 to $115,000, with greater remuneration possible for exceptional candidates.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, a one-page statement of past and potential teaching contributions, a one-page statement of contributions to the field in research or in practice, selected samples (up to four in number) of past contributions (excerpts of course materials, publications, patents, design documents, etc.), and the names of at least three references to https://ecefas.uwaterloo.ca/OFAS/index.php. Screening will begin immediately upon receipt of a complete application. To ensure full consideration, applications must be received before January 15, 2021.

To submit questions regarding the position, the application process, assessment process, eligibility, or a request for accommodation during the hiring process, please contact Brenda McQuarrie, the Administrative Assistant to the Department Chair: bmcquarr@uwaterloo.ca.
