Post-doctoral researcher in informatics of aging Supervisors: Alan A. Cohen (Aging Research Center) and Shengrui Wang ( Department of Computer Science ) We are looking to recruit a post-doctoral researcher with particular strength in quantitative analysis and programming to conduct a research project integrating many aspects of the aging process. The Aging Research Center (Centre de recherche sur le vieillissement, CdRV) is a multi-disciplinary center with many large, unique data sets, and we are seeking someone who can facilitate collaborations among researchers with diverse interests such as biomarker studies (Cohen), nutrition (H. Payette), functional autonomy (N. Dubuc), and social participation (M. Levasseur) in order to understand how each of these processes may affect the others over time. The post thus offers the opportunity to learn about diverse subjects while producing a number of key publications. This post-doctoral position is funded by the CdRV and supported by...

The club UW WiSTEM is organizing a delegation to the WISE National Conference in Toronto this March 22-23! We are also trying to get subsidies from student societies and academic departments at UW, so there's a chance you'll get some of your ticket fee reimbursed in the future. Here's what to do if you want to attend.  1. Check out the facebook event or www.wise.skule.ca/conference and decide if you want to attend. https://www.facebook.com/events/407321012703571/?ref=br_tf 2.

Integrated Engineering Software provides state of the art software tools for electromagnetic, thermal and particle beam simulations. These tools are used in many of the world's largest labs and companies. Some examples of the diverse applications of the software include design of: electro-mechanical devices, high voltage equipment, antennas, mass spectrometers, ion implanters, induction heaters and electron microscopes. Integrated is seeking a creative and self-motivated individual to join our Software Development team based at our head office in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The primary responsibility of this position is the design and development of GUI elements for engineering design software. Some work on the corporate web site will also be required. The candidate should be willing to keep up-to-date with advances in technology, and be aware of how this affects the business environment. The ideal candidate for this position will have a graduate degree in Computer Science or Elec...

Dear Madam / Sir. I hope you are doing well. We recently sent a call for applications for Summer Jobs in National Bank of Canada’s Financial Markets. We received 1200+ resumes, but not enough from students in Computer Science or similar fields. Please note that the Global Equity Desk on our Toronto trading floor is still looking to fill 1 or 2 Summer job positions by computer scientists (or similar field). Students interested in knowing more can directly send me their resume; no need to go through our Web site’s Job Opportunity. Best regards Pierre Laroche pierre.laroche@nbc.ca

In 2003, a group of graduate students at MIT set out to build a simple, scalable and cost-effective wireless network to blanket Cambridge, MA. They succeeded, and in the process, invented a new network architecture, based in cloud computing, to make truly plug and play large-scale networks. Realizing they were on to something big, they left MIT, moved to California and started Meraki, now part of Cisco. Our team is still small enough that you will work on problems core to our business. We are also growing quickly, with a proven model for our technology, so your work will reach many customers and have a huge impact. We have small nimble teams from 2 - 5 people and there is no red tape in development. Our developers work in start-up environments with world-wide impact. Developing and scaling our system requires exceptional engineering ability across the stack. We're looking for smart people in fields ranging from device drivers to user interfaces and di...
