FACULTY POSITIONS IN AEROSPACE & MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical
Engineering (AME) of the USC Viterbi School of
Engineering will be hiring permanent faculty over
the next few years. Persons from all areas of
aerospace and mechanical engineering will be
considered, including fluid mechanics, combustion,
heat transfer, dynamics and controls, design and
manufacturing, and solid mechanics and materials.
All ranks will be considered. Applicants are
especially encouraged from emerging areas such as
nano- and micro-scale engineering, and
biomechanics.
The AME Department at USC has 3 NAE members and
one RAE member. The USC Viterbi School of
Engineering at USC has established itself as a
top-ten engineering school. An earned Ph.D. in
engineering or a relevant science is required,
with a preference in mechanical or aerospace
engineering. Successful candidates must have a
demonstrated potential for developing a strong
externally funded research program and a
commitment to excellence in teaching. Senior
candidates must have a distinguished record of
achievement as evidenced by leadership in their
field of expertise, publications, professional
recognition and extramural funding.
The graduate program of the USC Viterbi School of
Engineering has been consistently ranked in the
top 10 in the US News & World Report for the past
several years. The School's 170 tenured and tenure
track faculty includes 26 members of the National
Academy of Engineering, seven winners of the
Presidential Early Career Awards, 45 Early Career
Awards, four winners of the Shannon Award, and a
Co-winner of the 2002 Turing Award. USC faculty
are conducting research in leading-edge
technologies with about $160 million in research
expenditures annually. 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), the USC Stevens Institute for
Technology Commercialization, and the Department
of Homeland Security's first center of excellence
(CREATE).
The positions will be available beginning Fall
2007. Review of applications will begin February
1, 2007, and continue until the positions are
filled. Interested individuals should submit a
detailed resume, a one-page statement on current
and future research directions and names of at
