As part of a USC Viterbi School of Engineering hiring initiative involving
multiple departments, the School is seeking applications and nominations
for an outstanding scholar at the Associate Professor or Professor ranks
who will have transformative impact in the interdisciplinary area of
advanced manufacturing. Within this context, research emphases may in-
clude but are not limited to new and innovative materials, processes, product design and operations
for manufacturing; and may also include integration of big data informatics, robotics and cyber
physical systems in manufacturing. We seek synergies bet ween multiple departments (Aerospace
and Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Computer Science, and
Industrial and Systems Engineering). The successful candidate will have a highly accomplished
national and international standing in important area(s) of advanced manufacturing. The candidate
will have an excellent publication record, strong history of extramural research funding, and
distinguished record of achievement in the field. It is expected that a tenured faculty appointment
will be made in a department most closely aligned to the candidate’s interests.

Applications must include a letter clearly indicating area(s) of specialization, a detailed curriculum vitae, a statement of current and future research directions, a teaching statement, and contact information for three professional references. Candidates should apply online at: http://ame-www.usc.edu/facultypositions/. All applications will be held in the strictest confidence. For further information, candidates are welcome to contact the chair of the search committee, Michael Kassner: Kassner@usc.edu. Please do not provide letters of reference or copies of publications until requested. Early submission is strongly advised as the application review process will commence January 7, 2014.
