  1. $95 to $120 K in Waterloo would afford a pretty decent lifestyle.

  2. "...however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority."

    One-way hiring preferences. Thanks NAFTA!

    1. Chemjobber, you may want to reconsider posting job adds that would violate American Federal law if posted by an American company/school. Or would you welcome ads from extranational firms promising to give preference on the basis of race, gender, or religion?

      Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

      Title VII, the federal law that prohibits most workplace harassment and discrimination, covers all private employers, state and local governments, and educational institutions with 15 or more employees. In addition to prohibiting discrimination against workers because of race, color, national origin, religion, and sex, those protections have been extended to include barring against discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, sex stereotyping, and sexual harassment of employees.

    2. Perhaps it's better to be like most American Universities and pretend the job is open for everyone, yet essentially disregard any applicant who hasn't attended the right combination of 10 (or so) acceptable Universities for undergrand/PhD/postdoc... none of which are outside the US, because as we all know, no other country has quite figured out this science thing.

      Canadian Universities post that with all of their jobs, yet % wise, I would bet they hire just as many Americans as American schools ultimately hire Canadians.

    I don't think the CRA protects people who couldn't get in to good schools.
