Thanks! Yes I'll probably accept this answer, after I ask a couple of knowledgeable sources outside of cstheory.se.

<p>Does anyone know if there is a centralized source of Canadian positions advertised by universities for computer science? I conjecture that this might exist since there are websites advertising <a href="http://www.math.ca/Employment/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">math jobs for Canada</a>, plus websites advertising CS jobs in general (<a href="http://www.cra.org/ads/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CRA</a>, <a href="http://www.higheredjobs.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Higher Ed</a>). Additionally, there exists <a href="http://www.cra.org/ads/ads-view/assistant_professor_the_university_of_manitoba/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">at least one such opening currently</a>.</p>

<p>This is a special case of a previously studied problem, where it was <a href="https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/7704/where-can-you-find-job-postings-for-faculty-positions-in-cs-theory">asked on cstheory without the Canadian constraint.</a></p>

I think this is a duplicate, any answer to this question will also be an answer to the the linked question.

Canadian CS University Positions?

# Canadian CS University Positions?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-09-25)

Does anyone know if there is a centralized source of Canadian positions advertised by universities for computer science? I conjecture that this might exist since there are websites advertising [math jobs for Canada](http://www.math.ca/Employment/), plus websites advertising CS jobs in general ([CRA](http://www.cra.org/ads/), [Higher Ed](http://www.higheredjobs.com/)). Additionally, there exists [at least one such opening currently](http://www.cra.org/ads/ads-view/assistant_professor_the_university_of_manitoba/).

This is a special case of a previously studied problem, where it was [asked on cstheory without the Canadian constraint.](https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/7704/where-can-you-find-job-postings-for-faculty-positions-in-cs-theory)
