DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
University of Southern California

The University of Southern California, one of the nation’s top research universities, invites applications for tenure- track positions in the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. We seek outstanding faculty candidates for positions at any rank. The USC Viterbi School is committed to continuing to build a diverse faculty and welcomes applications from individuals with differing social, racial, or ethnic backgrounds, gender, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, economic circumstances, and physical abilities, as well as veterans.

Applications are invited from candidates knowledgeable in biomedical engineering and will be assessed based on the candidate’s track record and/or promise. Positions are open at all ranks in any of the Department’s four core thematic areas, including but not limited to the topics listed: 

Molecular-Cellular Bioengineering: mechanobiology; regenerative engineering; genetic/genomic regulatory networks; synthetic biology; immunoengineering; personalized medicine; drug delivery.

Devices/Imaging: diagnostic imaging and therapeutics; functional and multimodality imaging; devices for neuro-modulation; multimodal diagnostics; wearable devices; deep learning for medical image analysis.

Mathematical/Computational Biosystems: model-based diagnostics; multi-scale disease modeling; machine learning for precision medicine; data-based dynamic modeling of physiological systems.

Neuroengineering: neural interfaces; optogenetics; neuromorphic computing; multi-neuronal dynamic interactions; motor control and learning; cognitive neuroprostheses.

We seek enthusiastic individuals who will participate in the university’s research enterprise and engage with students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Successful candidates will establish a strong, externally funded, research program of national prominence while contributing to the core teaching mission of the department. An earned doctorate in a field related to the Department’s core strengths is required. To receive full consideration, candidates should apply online at the faculty application website: (Open Rank) Assistant, Associate, Full Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Applications should be submitted by January 3, 2023; applications received after this date may not be considered. Application materials must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, and contact information for three references. Applicants are also required to include a succinct statement on fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion. Interested individuals who have questions are welcome to contact Dr. Stacey Finley, Biomedical Engineering Search Committee Chair (sfinley@usc.edu).

The USC Viterbi School of Engineering is among the top-tier engineering schools in the world. It counts 189 full-time tenure-track faculty members, 75 full-time teaching faculty, and 44 full-time research faculty. Home to the Information Sciences Institute (ISI), the School has been the recipient of many national centers, including two National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers, a Department of Energy EFRC (Energy Frontiers Research Center), and the Department of Homeland Security’s first University Center of Excellence, CREATE. Affiliated with the Alfred E. Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering, the Institute for Creative Technologies, the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience, and the USC Stevens Center for Innovation, the School is host of an NSF I-Corps Hub. Research expenditures typically exceed $210 million annually. In 2017, the School was awarded the ASEE President’s Award for its continuing efforts to “change the conversation” about engineering and develop a robust and diverse engineering pipeline.
