Assistant Professor, Schulich School of Engineering, Department of Geomatics Engineering

**Description** The **Schulich School of Engineering** at the University of Calgary invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of **Assistant Professor in Geomatics Engineering.** The anticipated start date is July 1, 2027 or a mutually agreed date. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong record of high-quality research and publications; the potential to establish a successful externally funded research program and achieve international recognition within a reasonable period following appointment; the ability to attract, mentor, and develop outstanding trainees, students, and future researchers; the ability to teach a range of undergraduate and graduate courses relevant to the position; excellent written and oral communication skills; and a demonstrated commitment to advancing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Engineering. The selected candidate must demonstrate alignment with the strategic plans of the University of Calgary's Ahead of Tomorrow (https://ucalgary.ca/about/ahead-of-tomorrow), Schulich Momentum (https://schulich.ucalgary.ca/about/schulich-momentum), and Alberta Technology and Innovation Strategy 2.0 (https://open.alberta.ca/publications/alberta-technology-and-innovation-strategy-2) effectively supporting the specified strategic academic and research priorities. The selected candidate must prioritize research efforts on the development of advanced multi-sensor systems and sensor-fusion technologies that enable autonomous and intelligent systems to perceive, localize, navigate, map, and interact reliably with their environments. Of particular interest are approaches that improve the accuracy, robustness, integrity, resilience, and continuity of positioning, navigation, perception, and spatial awareness in complex and challenging environments. Examples include: * Multi-sensor positioning, navigation, and perception integrating GNSS, inertial sensors, cameras, LiDAR, radar, wireless signals, and emerging sensing technologies; * Multi-modal sensing and sensor-fusion architectures; * Autonomous and connected vehicle systems; * Airborne sensing and UAV systems, including navigation, mapping, perception, and onboard sensing; * Robotic systems and intelligent automation; * Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), mapping, and spatial awareness; * Resilient navigation in GNSS-denied, degraded, or otherwise challenging environments; and * Artificial intelligence and machine-learning methods for sensor modelling, perception, navigation, and multi-sensor fusion. The successful applicant will demonstrate the ability to develop and teach a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses in geomatics engineering. They should also be qualified to teach existing courses in the Geomatics Engineering curriculum (https://calendar.ucalgary.ca/courses?page=1&cq=ENGO) that align with the area of the position. In addition, the successful applicant will be expected to enhance existing course content and de
