  • Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, The Department of Industrial Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, invites applications for a Tier 1  NSERC  Canada Research Chair ( CRC ) in “Digital Twin Engineering for Ocean Industries”. The Canada Research Chair Program was established by the Government of Canada with the purpose of attracting outstanding researchers to the Canadian university system. Tier 1 Chairs, tenable for seven years and renewable once, are for outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields. More information on the  CRC  Program and eligibility can be found at  www.chairs.gc.ca . About the Opportunity Dalhousie University is a world leader in ocean research, complementing a thriving ocean industry sector and research facilities in the region, including  COVE , the  PIER , and  Ocean Supercluster . In particular, the Ocean Frontier Institute ( OFI ), established in 2015 and headquartered at Dalhousie University, is a global leader for innovative ocean research.  OFI  was recently awarded a $155M+ award from the Canada Research Excellence Fund, for  Transforming Climate Action  ( TCA ), a major investigation into climate change and the ocean, with a focus on mitigation and adaptation solutions. The Chair will perform cutting-edge research to develop advanced Decision Support Systems ( DSS ) to support sustainable human uses of ocean spaces. This will require new conceptual and technical research, advancing the state of the art in Digital Twin Engineering by applying operations research, systems engineering and simulation to offshore technologies, including those which help mitigate climate change such as offshore wind farms. Applying and advancing techniques such as Deep Learning ( ANN ), Reinforcement Learning (RL), and Deep Reinforcement Learning (ANN+RL) would be beneficial. Based on ocean sensor networks’ inputs, the developed DSSs will support the monitoring, prediction, environmental impacts and technical engineering management of ocean industry designs and operations (ex. offshore wind, aquaculture, tidal energy, etc.). The Chair is expected to provide a scientifically groundbreaking, practice-oriented, and fruitful research program, in collaboration with  TCA  projects, and related industry and government initiatives.   The Candidate The successful candidate will bring a record of leadership in multidisciplinary and collaborative research achievements in Digital Twin modelling, preferably with an ocean focus, or related skills in systems engineering or simulation of industrial systems. The assessment of candidates will be based on research excellence as reflected in the quality and impact of outputs, previous success securing external research funding, demonstrated impact in knowledge mobilization, leadership within the international academic community, experience collaborating with industry, and other evidence of impact. The outputs considered include, but are not limited to, published journal articles, software, commercialization of results, societal outcomes, and policy changes resulting from research. In addition, the successful candidate must show evidence of successful teaching, including mentorship, and have the potential to attract, develop, and retain excellent trainees, students, and future engineers and researchers. The successful candidate will have an earned doctorate in Industrial Engineering or a closely related field (such as Systems Engineering or Operations Research). Candidates must be registered professional engineers in Canada or be eligible for and committed to professional registration in Nova Scotia. The Chair must be qualified to teach in areas such as operations research, big data and/or data analytics, or system simulation. About the Department of Industrial Engineering Founded in 1969, the Industrial Engineering program at Dalhousie University is the second oldest in Canada. We have strong undergraduate and graduate programs, and the Department supports a rich research environment organized into three main clusters:  Maritime Risk and Safety ;  Sustainable Production, Analytics and Remanufacturing Exploration ; and  Health Care Operations Research . Our research is interdisciplinary and we are strongly linked with other faculties, universities, and industry. Dalhousie is the leading graduate and research university in Atlantic Canada, with more than 20,000 students, including 3500 in graduate programs, from 115 countries. We are located in Kjipuktuk (Halifax), a friendly, energetic, ocean-side city. The city and surrounding areas host a wide range of cultural activities and opportunities. Excellent schools, sports facilities, and outdoor activities are also available locally. Dalhousie recognizes that career paths can be diverse and that career interruptions may occur. Applicants are encouraged to include, in their cover letter, an explanation of the impact that any career interruptions may have had on their record of research achievement. Application Process Application review will begin on March 15, 2024 and continue until the position is filled. It is anticipated that the position will begin on July 1, 2025. Please note that the offer of this tenured position is conditional on a successful Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in “Digital Twin Engineering for Ocean Industries” application. A complete application must include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a teaching statement, the names and contact information for three referees, and three sample publications.
