As a postdoc he was a lecturer at the University of Virginia. From 1986 he was at McMaster University and since 1999 he is a professor at the University of British Columbia.He developed the technique of lace expansion (originally introduced by David Brydges and Thomas C.

The Hara–Slade result has important consequences in mean field theory.In 1991 Slade and Hara used the lace expansion to prove that the average distance covered in self-avoiding random walks in 5 or more dimension grows as the square root of the number of steps in a simple random walk and that the scaling limit is Brownian motion.Slade received in 1995 the Coxeter–James Prize and in the 2010 the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize. He became a Fellow in 2000 of the Royal Society of Canada, in 2010 of the Fields Institute, and in 2012 of the American Mathematical Society and of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. In 2003 he was awarded with Remco van der Hofstad the prize of the Institute Henri Poincaré.Slade was an invited speaker in 1994 at the ICM in Zürich with lecture The critical behaviour of random systems."@en }
