CS Tenure-Track Faculty Positions
CS Research Faculty Positions
CS Teaching Faculty Positions
The Computer Science Department of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering seeks to hire two tenure-‐track faculty members this year. While we are interested in exceptional candidates in all areas of Computer Science, our priorities are as follows:
The search in Autonomous Systems is part of a Viterbi School of Engineering hiring initiative involving multiple departments. We welcome synergies between the successful applicants in multiple departments (Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, and Civil & Environmental Engineering are also involved) and value a demonstrated ability to work across disciplines.
Applicants should submit their applications online at:
http://viterbi.usc.edu/facultyapplications/csfaculty2013/
Applications must include a letter indicating the area of specialization, a detailed curriculum vitae, a statement on current and future research directions, a teaching statement, and names of at least three professional references. Evaluation of dossiers will start on December 20, 2012, but later applications will also be considered.
We are also interested in exceptionally accomplished candidates who can be transformational faculty members both in computer science and interdisciplinary computing. Such candidates should contact the Department Chair, at cschair@usc.edu. Outstanding senior applicants who have demonstrated academic excellence and leadership, and whose past activities document a commitment to issues involving the advancement of women in science and engineering may be also considered for the Lloyd Armstrong, Jr. Endowed Chair, which is supported by the Women in Science and Engineering Program endowment.
We expect all candidates to have a strong commitment both to research and to teaching. All applicants must have earned a doctorate in Computer Science or a closely related field by the date of appointment.
The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is among the top tier engineering schools in the world. It counts 174 full-‐ time, tenure-‐track faculty members, and it is home to the Information Sciences Institute, two National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers, a Department of Energy EFRC (Energy Frontiers Research Center), and the Department of Homeland Security’s first University Center of Excellence, CREATE. The school is affiliated with the Alfred E. Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the Institute for Creative Technologies and the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation. Research expenditures typically exceed $180 million annually. With 33 tenure-‐ track and 42 research faculty, the Department of Computer Science is one of the nation’s leading centers of research and education in the field.
USC values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity in employment. Women and men, and members of all racial and ethnic groups, are encouraged to apply.
There are no open positions at this time.
The Computer Science Department (http://cs.usc.edu) at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering (http://viterbi.usc.edu) seeks candidates for teaching positions (Lecturer) to teach undergraduate and graduate courses. These are full time, benefits eligible faculty positions on the non-tenure track. Competitive candidates will have the training and experience necessary to teach effectively in a highly-ranked Computer Science department that advances undergraduate students through an accredited BS degree program and graduate students enrolled in MS and PhD programs. Candidates will have a background (or specific interest) in one or more of the following areas: Agents, Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Complexity, Databases, Games, Graphics, Information Management, Multimedia, Natural Language Processing, Networks, Programming, Robotics, Software Systems and Engineering, Systems, and Vision.
These are primarily teaching positions; all candidates are expected to have a strong commitment to teaching. Lecturers will spend the majority of their time on teaching and teaching-related duties with reduced obligation for research and University service. Qualified candidates should have a doctoral degree in Computer Science (or equivalent) by the date of appointment. Salary and benefits are competitive. While we seek applications at the level of Lecturer, in exceptional cases, applicants with longer teaching experience may also be considered for a commensurate position (e.g., Senior Lecturer).
Applicants should submit their applications online at:
http://viterbi.usc.edu/facultyapplications/csfaculty2013/
Applications must include a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, a teaching statement, and names of at least three professional references, at least two of whom must be familiar with, and able to comment on, the applicant’s teaching experience. Applicants may also optionally include a research statement or teaching evaluations. Applications should be received by March 1, 2013. Later applications will be considered to the extent possible.
