Funding opportunities for Computer Scientist Faculty in Canada I have been offered a faculty position at a computer science department of a small Canadian University. 


Is there a funding agency in Canada that is commonly targeted by Computer Scientists similar to the NSF in the US?
Are there any funding opportunities tailored to early career researchers?
The organization you're looking for is called NSERC, and has many opportunities available. I don't know all of them (I'm a PhD student, not a professor), but here are some highlights:


Discovery Grants for researchers
Post-doctoral fellowships
Doctoral Scholarships
The Vanier Doctoral award 
Master's Scholarships
