<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Consistently ranked as one of Canada’s top employers, SFU is an institution whose strength is based on our shared commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the pursuit
of decolonization, Indigenization, and reconciliation. Diversity is an underlying principle of our Strategic Vision, which pledges SFU to “foster a culture of inclusion and mutual respect, celebrating the diversity reflected among its students, faculty staff
and our community.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;background:white">SFU is an equity employer and encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including women, persons with disabilities, racialized minorities,
Indigenous Peoples, people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and others who may contribute to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive community.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">SFU is committed to ensuring that no individual is denied access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or qualifications. Consistent with this principle, SFU will advance the interests of underrepresented
members of the work force, ensure that equal opportunity is afforded to all who seek employment at the University, and treat all employees equitably.
<b>Candidates who belong to equity-seeking groups are particularly encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

The CERC program stands at the centre of a national strategy to foster research excellence in Canada and improve our depth of knowledge and quality of life, strengthen Canada's international competitiveness, and help train the next generation of highly skilled
people. The program offers an avenue for Canadian institutions to recruit the best global talent and brand Canada as a location of choice for world-leading research. CERCs are one of the largest and most prestigious awards available globally, providing the
world’s top researchers and their teams with up to $8 million over eight years to support their research programs and teams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The CERC recruitment uses a two staged process where interested applicants must first apply to the open job posting at the University and then the successful applicant(s) will submit
an application to the program. SFU will provide substantial support in the preparation and development of the program application including project management, budget planning, proposal development and editing. If successful, CERC awardees will also receive
substantial support to their research programs and for administration of the grant.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This program provides an opportunity for international researchers, including Canadian expatriates wishing to relocate to Canada, to lead a prestigious research program at SFU and
to contribute to Canada’s excellence in research and innovation. <b>Applicants must be full professors or associate professors</b> expected to be promoted to full professor within one to two years of the nomination. Alternatively, if they come from outside
the academic sector, applicants must possess the qualifications necessary to be appointed at these levels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

exponentially more combined capacity than the sum of their parts, and, given expected environmental constraints, they will likely be far easier to build than monolithic quantum supercomputers. Due to the nascent state of the field, the full spectrum of future

using computer-aided manufacturing systems such as additive manufacturing that can adaptively manufacture parts on demand, direct from digital designs. Robotics also has broad potential impacts on public safety, healthcare, home-care, manufacturing, transportation,
and entertainment. Intelligent computational agents will be an integral part of our society. Human-computer interaction (HCI) and visual information processing must also be considered in technological development to ensure access for millions of end users
around the world. Cybersecurity complements the technological advancements to prevent the increasingly frequent, severe, and sophisticated cyberattacks, information security breaches, and safeguarding of intellectual property and financial assets.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">A major planetary change due to global warming is the shift in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. This shift has already resulted in widespread changes in plant community composition, loss of human life, and
damage to infrastructure with the associated economic losses. These impacts are anticipated to worsen with time. Resource management must be closely examined to deliver new approaches for sustainability, for example as it relates to our oceans, and developing
clean and renewable energy sources. Solutions must be developed in close partnership with Indigenous peoples and with attention to inequities of climate change.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Globalization, natural resource use and distribution, economic uncertainty, population migration and changing patterns of convergence and conflict challenge the structures of societies and shape the ways we interact with each
other. Existing policies governing our way of life originate from Eurocentrism and reinforce systems of power and privilege, creating inequities and systemic barriers grounded in and contributing to racism, heterosexism, ableism, classism, and other sustained
systems of oppression. This negatively impacts physical, mental and social well-being of marginalized individuals. Considerations related to justice, equity, and social responsibility also shape the ways in which we engage with communities and value their
contributions. Fostering community participation in research is both a vehicle for social change and a critical source of scholarship. There is a need to dismantle Eurocentric structures and facilitate better educational practices and critical discourse while
strengthening equity, diversity, and inclusion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
