Dalhousie University
About the opportunity
The Faculties of Computer Science and Health at Dalhousie University invite applications for a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Artificial Intelligence and Healthy Aging. This position is designated to candidates who self-identify as women or gender equity-seeking persons with a disability. The Tier 2 CRC in Artificial Intelligence and Healthy Aging will be a probationary tenure-track or tenured position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (commensurate with experience) jointly appointed to the Faculties of Computer Science and Health, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025. The successful candidate will have demonstrated potential and capacity to develop and lead an internationally recognized research program that develops new machine-learning techniques and applies them to health and healthcare-related fields focusing on healthy aging. The research program will align with priority areas such as 'AI & Machine Learning' and 'Healthy People, Communities, & Populations', two of Dalhousie’s six Strategic Research Clusters.
The successful candidate will have a completed PhD in computer science or a related field, demonstrate capacity to lead an AI research program, and supervise graduate students in Computer Science. They will propose an innovative research program developing artificial intelligence-based interventions in healthcare, with a focus on frailty, healthy aging, chronic and complex care, and related health markers. In collaboration with a senior research Chair in AI and Healthy Aging, the CRC will establish and maintain relationships with post-secondary institutions and community partners in the health sector. The position provides an opportunity to take a data-driven approach to improve care delivery and enhance experiences in long-term care and for older adults.
The successful candidate will engage in research leadership and promote interdisciplinary scholarship, aiming to create new opportunities at the intersection of computer science and health. The candidate will also contribute to complementary areas of research within the University and teach at a reduced course load.
