The Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa invites applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Population Health Data Science. The selected candidate will be offered a tenure-track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level within the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences. The interdisciplinary nature of the School's research and teaching programs encourages inter-faculty collaboration, enabling the recruitment of students from diverse backgrounds (epidemiology, medicine, social sciences, management, etc.).  The ideal candidate should demonstrate an outstanding research dossier in developing and / or applying data science methodologies to generate data-driven solutions, incorporating the differential and interactive social determinants of health. Preference will be given to candidates proposing innovative analytically-driven approaches that aim to achieve impact, sustainability, and health equity. The proposed methodologies may include data analytics, data mining, or machine learning, utilizing both public and other sources of population-level data to inform interventions and policies and to promote health equity. The successful candidate will be asked to teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, on content related to basic programming, artificial intelligence, and data analytics.

Located on the unceded territory of Anishinaabe Algonquin people, in the heart of downtown Ottawa and in close proximity to multiple national agencies such as Health Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and Statistics Canada, the University of Ottawa is recognized as the first and largest bilingual university in North America. It offers its 47,000 students and 5,500 employees a dynamic and stimulating environment where research and knowledge are fundamental to all aspects of university life. The Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences provides French and English education in Health Sciences, challenging students to understand biological, environmental, and psychosocial factors as interactive health determinants across the lifespan. The Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences is home to researchers who investigate health, longevity, and disease using interdisciplinary methodologies, approaches, and perspectives. Research areas of interest include integrative health biosciences, population health, and health technologies. The nominated candidate will benefit from established collaborations between researchers from the School and the Faculty of Engineering, Ottawa Hospitals and affiliated Institutes.

Tier 2 Chairs, tenable for five years and renewable once, are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. For each Tier 2 Chair, the institution receives $100,000 annually for five years, with an additional $20,000 annual research stipend for first-term Tier 2 Chairs.

Candidates should, at a minimum, be assistant or associate professors, or possess the necessary qualifications to be appointed to these levels. Candidates who are more than 10 years from their highest degree must contact the University of Ottawa directly for questions related to their potential eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair. The institution may nominate a professor or a researcher who is more than 10 years from their highest degree at the time of nomination and has experienced legitimate career interruptions (see acceptable justifications). In such cases, the institution must submit to the Secretariat a formal justification (using the Tier 2 Justification Screening Form), explaining why the nominee is still considered to be an emerging scholar. The University recognizes the legitimate impact that leaves (e.g., parental leave, leave due to illness) can have on a candidate’s record of research achievement and that these leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process. New CRC nominees are also eligible for infrastructure support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to help acquire state-of-the-art equipment essential to their work.

The activities at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research-Hyderabad (TIFRH) are poised to expand significantly on its ~200  acre campus, with full-fledged infrastructure for research labs, along with other facilities for researchers and staff. By 2027, the campus will have ~650,000 sq feet of laboratory, classroom and discussion spaces, and will eventually host a total of ~600 researchers, students, and staff. Along with growth in the existing areas of research and education in basic sciences, the institute seeks to add newer activities to its programme. TIFRH is looking to initiate activities in Computational and Mathematical Sciences in general, and particularly in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The goals are two-fold: (i) fundamental research, exploring theoretical underpinnings, in order to address challenging and emerging problems, (ii) innovations leading to data driven tools and techniques to tackle large-scale fundamental and practical problems. Some of the problems in the practical domain include climate and weather modelling, healthcare, economics and transportation systems, etc.

The institute invites researchers working actively at the forefronts of these fields and wishing to make innovative and groundbreaking contributions, especially in the areas of computational statistics, machine learning and related areas. Expertise in areas such as probability, statistics, optimization, and operations research, and an emphasis on conceptual focus would be preferred. The other activities in basic sciences at the institute will provide opportunities for collaboration on outstanding scientific problems from a data science perspective. The institute also welcomes applicants with an orientation in data sciences with domain expertise in biological, chemical and physical sciences. The proximity of the institute to governmental, defense and academic institutions, and the vibrant industrial base in the financial and IT sectors in the city affords a wide range of opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. Researchers who desire to tap into this potential and through their research, support the building of large-scale applications are strongly encouraged to apply. The institute encourages faculty interactions with the industry, government and other academic institutions.
