We are well-connected to strong agri/mining/oil business sectors and our campus has strong innovation initiatives. Candidates in all entrepreneurship specializations who hold or are near the completion of a Ph.D. are encouraged to apply. We are a progressive university serving approximately 20,000 students.

There are ample reasons that solid scholars should give us a look. You'll find engaged colleagues seeking excellence who value people. If you are wondering about our growth in this time of downward spiraling economies, the Conference Board of Canada reports that Saskatchewan will likely continue to lead the nation in economic growth in 2009 because of its strong infrastructure investment and tax reductions (CNN). Bucking continent-wide trends, Saskatchewan's unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent in January 2009. The University of Saskatchewan is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Saskatoon is a vibrant university city with a population approaching 230,000 people.  The city is located on a river in the heartland of Saskatchewan. The city is well known for its summer festivals and riverbank events such as Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, the Jazz Festival, River Fest Boat Races, the Children's Festival and the Fringe Festival to name a few. Needless to say, winter festivals and winter sports - like hockey and cross country skiing - in Saskatoon are even better.
