Well Southern side... it's probably as far south as you can get.
It's even further south than our university (University of Tasmania)

Otago also re-advertised an open position for an Assoc/full professor in

department (they also have a CS department in a different faculty). And I 
reckon you'd need to be interested in becoming Head of School also.
