The Faculty of Science at the University of Ottawa invites applications for a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Financial Mathematics. Located on the unceded ancestral land of the Algonquin people, the University of Ottawa is in the National Capital Region and provides numerous opportunities for collaborations with local industry and the government agencies (e.g., the Bank of Canada, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Statistics Canada). The Department of Mathematics and Statistics employs around 40 faculty members (including researchers in financial mathematics, probability, statistics and data science) and offers several undergraduate programs, including an Honours BSc in Financial Mathematics and Economics (in collaboration with the Telfer School of Management and the Department of Economics at the Faculty of Social Sciences), as well as a graduate program with more than 100 students.

The Tier 1 CRC in Financial Mathematics will be expected to build research capacity in financial mathematics, supervise undergraduate and graduate students, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration, and take a leading role in developing undergraduate and graduate programs in financial mathematics. The candidate should have a strong background in probability, statistics, or data science.

Tier 1 Chairs, tenable for seven years and renewable once, are for outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields. For each Tier 1 Chair, the institution receives $200,000 annually for seven years. Nominees for Tier 1 Chair positions must be full professors or associate professors who are expected to be promoted to the full professor level within one or two years of the nomination. Alternatively, if they come from outside the academic sector, nominees must possess the necessary qualifications to be appointed at these levels. 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 University of Ottawa is committed to ensuring equity, diversity, and inclusion in the scholarly and leadership environments of our students, staff, and faculty. Accordingly, we strongly encourage applications from skilled and experienced members of the four designated groups such as Indigenous Peoples, racialized individuals, persons with disabilities, women and gender equity-seeking groups, as defined in the CRC Program method for establishing equity targets and the Employment Equity Act, as well as from all qualified candidates with the skills and knowledge to productively implement equity measures that ensure and retain diverse teams and promote inclusive practices for research team members. As part of this preferential hiring process, applications from members of the four designated groups will be prioritized and assessed first for the vacancy. The purpose of this measure is to increase the representation and contribution of members of the four designated groups in the allocation of Canada Research Chair positions. All candidates are asked to complete the confidential self-identification form during the application process online (Employment Equity Questionnaire). Internal candidates are not eligible.

Skills requirements:
  • Education: Ph.D. or equivalent in mathematics, probability, statistics, finance, data science, operations research, actuarial science, or other related fields.
  • Required Qualifications: Proof of outstanding independent research achievements in the CRC's identified area(s), a solid record with respect to teaching and training of students at the graduate level, a strong record of external research funding, and excellent communication skills in either English or French. Passive knowledge of the other Official Language in Canada is a requirement for tenure. English-French bilingualism is an asset.
Rank and salary:

Regular tenure-track academic appointment in the Faculty of Science. The salary range for a full professor is $125,452to $219,012 and for an associate professor is $104,487 to $181,444 (based on the May 1, 2023, scale of the collective agreement between APUO and the University of Ottawa). Salaries are competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
