[Apologies for repeated submissions] Joining forces and combining their efforts in 2012, École Polytechnique de Montréal, Université de Montréal and HEC Montréal were successful in being awarded a prestigious Canada Excellence Research Chair. This Chair comes within the general field of "information and communications technologies", one of four priority fields defined in the Science and Technology Strategy of the Government of Canada. This strategy aims at the development of new models, methodologies and algorithms to enhance optimisation and real-time decision-making in the context of extremely large quantities of data (Big Data) and profits from the approaches of both machine learning and operations research. The Chair will train highly qualified personnel and encourage technology transfer for numerous applications.
The Chair will benefit from an exceptional, stimulating and world-class collaborative environment, with 800 scientists in operations research and machine learning, including the interuniversity research Centers CIRRELT (Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur les réseaux d’entreprises, la logistique et le transport) (www.cirrelt.ca) and GERAD (Groupe d’études et de recherches en analyse de décisions) (www.gerad.ca). In this context, Polytechnique is currently seeking an outstanding, innovative and internationally renowned researcher for the position of Professor and CANADA EXCELLENCE RESEARCH CHAIR IN DATA SCIENCE FOR REAL-TIME DECISION- MAKING Please go towww.kenniffracine.com under Current Assignments for a complete description of the responsibilities of the Chair and to apply. For further information of a more scientific nature, you may contact Professor Gilles Savard, V.-P. Research and Innovation (Polytechnique Montréal) [email protected] . All information received will be treated in the strictest confidence. Polytechnique is an equal opportunity employer. -- Brunilde Sansò, ing., M.Sc.A., Ph.D. Professeur Titulaire/Professor Département de génie électrique M-6107 Pavillon Lassonde École Polytechnique de Montréal CP 6079 succ Centre-Ville Montreal H3C 3A9 tel +1 514 3404711 xt 4949 fax +1 514 3405892 (Poly) +1 514 3405665 (GERAD) [email protected] http://www.polymtl.ca/recherche/rc/en/professeurs/details.php?NoProf=105 http://www.gerad.ca/~bruni _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
