Exciting Course Opportunity This Fall! Build a Startup in One Term (learn more on Sept 11)

Hi everyone,

I’m writing to let you know that we have a few spaces left in the Startup Studio course this term.

Startup Studio (SENG 455/BCOM 450) puts you on a team with software engineering, computer science, and business students. You'll use generative AI to move fast, learn directly from many local founders, mentors and investors, and turn an idea into a product people can actually use. This course is wonderful for building your resume as you will learn from two instructors across two different faculties, and learn from a diverse and talented student base.

If you are interested and don’t have the prerequisites, you may fill out a waiver (https://www.uvic.ca/ecs/_assets/docs/student-forms/pre-or-co-requisite-waiver-request.pdf) and mail to [email protected].

You are also welcome to the first class on Sept 11th from 1:30–4:30 PM.
Meet 8+ founders, ideate, and decide if the course is right for you. Space is limited, so don't wait too long. Email [email protected] for location and more details.

Full details, schedule, mentors, and student stories are mentioned here: https://startup-studio.ai

The full course outline, when posted, will have more details. In the meantime, the website has everything you need to decide if this is for you.

Hope to see you on the 11th!

Job Description
Computer Science Teacher-Scholar Post-doctoral Fellowship Pilot Program (2026-27)

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria invites applications for the second offering of the Computer Science Teacher-Scholar Post-doctoral Fellowship Pilot Program. This program is designed to enhance the research productivity of the department, provide the department with additional teaching resources, and provide fellows with additional teaching mentorship and the opportunity to develop a teaching portfolio prior to entering the job market. Co-supervision is welcome.

This is a one-year fellowship, renewable for a second year subject to satisfactory teaching performance, continued support of the supervisor(s), and continued availability of departmental funds. The annual salary range for this position is $60,000 - $85,000. The applicant's qualifications and experience will determine the final salary offer.

• be physically present in Greater Victoria for the start of the fellowship and for all teaching terms; and
• be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (PR), or hold an appropriate visa at the start of and for the duration of the fellowship.

This posting is an invitation for prospective fellows to connect with faculty members whose research aligns with their own to explore potential supervisory relationships. Prospective supervisors should apply to [email protected] by July 2, 2026.

Applications must include:
• the applicant’s Curriculum Vitae (CV);
