Tenure-track positions in (theoretical) computer science, USC, Los Angeles CA (U.S.A.)

USC Viterbi School of Engineering - Computer Science

The Computer Science Department of the USC Viterbi School of
Engineering seeks to hire multiple tenure-track faculty this year. We
are interested in outstanding faculty candidates at all levels, with
priority in the areas of:

- Algorithms/Theory
- Machine Learning
- Graphics and Interactive Game Technologies
- Networks and Network Security

Applications must include a letter indicating the area of
specialization, a detailed curriculum vitae, a statement on current
and future research directions, and names of at least three
professional references.

We expect 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
department is primarily seeking individuals at the Assistant Professor
rank. These applicants should submit their applications online at

http://www.cs.usc.edu/FacultyOnline/

However, we are also interested in exceptional senior candidates. They
should contact the Department Chair, at <cschair@usc.edu>. Evaluation
of all dossiers will start in mid-November 2007 but later applications
will also be considered.

With over $160 million in research expenditures annually, the USC
Viterbi School of Engineering ranks first nationally in research
funding per faculty member, and US News and World Report consistently
ranks the School's graduate program in the nation's top ten. The
School's approximately 170 tenured and tenure track faculty includes
28 members of the National Academy of Engineering, eight winners of
the Presidential Early Career Awards, 47 winners of NSF CAREER Awards,
four winners of the Shannon Award, and a co-winner of the 2002 Turing
Award. The Viterbi School is home to the Information Sciences
Institute (ISI), two active National Science Foundation-funded
Engineering Research Centers (the Integrated Media Systems Center and
the Biomimetic MicroElectronic Systems Center), and the Department of
Homeland Security's first center of excellence, the Center For Risk
and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE).

USC is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages
applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
