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 ( http://computing.usc.edu ). 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.
