[Iefac.list] Faculty Positions at University of Southern California

[Julie Higle]

The University of Southern California, one of the nation’s top
universities, invites applications for two tenure-track positions in the
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering in the
Viterbi School of Engineering.  Applications for all ranks (Assistant
Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor) will be considered.
Exceptionally well qualified candidates for the rank of Professor will be
considered for appointment as the Epstein Family Chair, an endowed faculty
position.   *Applications from transformative and interdisciplinary
scholars are especially encouraged.* Transformative scholars are
distinguished individuals whose accomplishments are transforming the
disciplinary landscape.

This announcement is targeted toward growth in areas of
computationally-based systems modeling and analysis, with an emphasis on
areas of current and increasing importance to the ISE research community
such as Healthcare Engineering and Systems Engineering (e.g., informatics
and/or analytics).  Senior candidates in the areas of energy and the
environment, transportation and logistics, and manufacturing systems are
also encouraged to apply.  The applicant’s research should be grounded in
general-purpose systems modeling methodologies.

We seek individuals who can provide strong, dynamic, and innovative
leadership to advance excellence in research, innovation, teaching, and
service to the professional community.  An earned doctorate in a field
closely related to Industrial and Systems Engineering is required.  In
addition, the position calls for energetic individuals who will participate
in the university’s research enterprise and engage in classroom teaching at
the graduate and undergraduate levels.  Successful candidates will
establish a strong, externally funded, research program of national
prominence while contributing to the core teaching mission of the ISE
department.

Positions are available starting August 16, 2013.  Candidates should apply
via the Viterbi faculty application website:
viterbi.usc.edu/facultyapplications/.  Applications should include: a cover
letter; curriculum vitae detailing educational background, research
accomplishments and work experience; a one-page statement of current and
future research; and names of a least four professional references.  In
order to receive full consideration, all materials should be received by
December 17, 2012, but earlier application is encouraged.    All
applications will be held in the strictest confidence.  Interested
individuals are welcome to contact Professor Julie Higle, Chair of the
Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (
julie.higle at usc.edu or 213.740.6785).

The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is among the top engineering schools
in the world. More than a third of its 180 tenured/tenure-track faculty
members are fellows in their respective professional societies and 35
affiliated faculty have been elected to the National Academy of
Engineering. The School is home to over 45 research centers and institutes,
including the Information Sciences Institute (ISI), two National Science
Foundation Engineering Research Centers, the Department of Homeland
Security CREATE Center, and an Energy Frontiers Research Center (EFRC)
supported by the Department of Energy. It is affiliated with the Alfred E.
Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the Institute for Creative
Technologies, and the USC Stevens Center for Innovation. USC Viterbi
faculty conduct research in leading-edge technologies with annual research
expenditures exceeding $180 million.

The University of Southern California strongly values diversity and is
committed to equal opportunity in employment.  Women, men, and members of
all racial and ethnic groups are encouraged to apply.
