The Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science at the new USC School of Advanced Computing in our USC Viterbi School of Engineering is in a period of significant and sustained faculty growth. As part of its growth strategy, the department is currently focused on attracting strong, dynamic candidates for teaching faculty positions at the rank of Lecturer or higher.
This effort aligns with USC’s $1 billion Frontiers of Computing initiative , the largest, most comprehensive academic initiative in the university’s history. The initiative has already resulted in the creation of the new USC School of Advanced Computing, which aims to advance computing research and expand USC’s presence in Silicon Beach, L.A. County’s tech corridor.
The teaching faculty positions are full-time, benefits-eligible, faculty positions on the non-tenure track. We are seeking candidates to teach at the undergraduate and/or graduate level and who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the USC academic community. The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and welcomes applications from women; individuals of African, Hispanic, and Native American descent; veterans; and individuals with disabilities.
This is primarily a teaching position; all candidates are expected to have a strong commitment to teaching and the preparation necessary to teach effectively at the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree levels in a highly-ranked Computer Science department. Teaching faculty spend the majority of their time on teaching and teaching-related duties. By the date of their appointment, candidates should have an earned doctoral degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science or other closely related field.
Applicants should submit their applications at (USC Careers Website). Applications must include a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, and the names of at least three professional references—at least two of whom must be familiar with, and able to comment on, the applicant’s teaching experience. Applications must also include a teaching statement explaining the applicant’s relevant experience and approach to teaching, and a separate diversity statement describing the applicant’s relevant experience and approach to fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion. Applications should be submitted by November 15, 2024, for priority consideration; applications received after this deadline may not be considered or be considered only on a rolling basis.
The annual base salary range for the following faculty ranks in this posting are:
Lecturer: $98,000 - $114,000
Senior Lecturer: $115,000 - $132,000
Associate Professor of Engineering Practice: $136,000 - $160,000
