The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California seeks outstanding candidates for tenure-track assistant professor, tenured associate professor or tenured professor positions with available start date of August 16, 2012. An area of specific interest is biodynamical systems, and those with an experimental component to their research are particularly encouraged to apply.
We seek candidates who will provide leadership in research, scholarship, and teaching in the emerging field of biodynamical systems, broadly interpreted, and will be active participants in the core teaching mission of the department. We also are interested in exceptionally accomplished candidates who can be transformational faculty members in aerospace and mechanical engineering or who work in interdisciplinary areas cutting across other departments in the school and university.
Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. or the equivalent in a relevant field by the beginning of the appointment and have a strong research and publication record. Applications must include a letter clearly indicating area(s) of specialization, a detailed curriculum vitae, a concise statement of current and future research directions, a teaching statement, and contact information for at least four professional references.
