[Pekka Orponen]

The University of Southern California invites applications for
multiple tenured and tenure-track positions in the Daniel J. Epstein
Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
(https://ise.usc.edu/) in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering
(https://viterbischool.usc.edu/ <https://viterbischool.usc.edu/>). 
Appointments can be made at the
Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and/or Professor ranks.
Candidates at the senior ranks must have demonstrated research
excellence and
sustained commitment to the discipline and are expected to have a
vibrant research program with external funding. Exceptional senior
candidates may be considered for a chaired professorship. The USC
Viterbi School is committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty
and welcomes applications from women; persons of African, Hispanic and
Native American descent; veterans; and persons with disabilities.
Outstanding senior applicants who have
demonstrated academic excellence and leadership, and whose past
activities document a commitment to issues involving the advancement
of women in science and engineering may be also considered for the
Lloyd Armstrong, Jr. Endowed Chair, which is supported by USC's Women
in Science and Engineering (WiSE) Program endowment.

We invite applications from outstanding candidates with demonstrated
excellence and commitment in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE).
Accomplished candidates with expertise in the core ISE methodological
areas (e.g., optimization, probability, simulation, statistics,
systems lifecycle analysis, and computational science) and interest in
solving important societal problems (including but not limited to
supply chain, transportation and logistics, healthcare, finance) are
encouraged to apply. Applications from candidates with expertise in
data science, machine learning, and related areas are also encouraged.

Our department's search this year 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
(http://sac.usc.edu), which aims to advance computing research and
expand USC's presence in Silicon Beach, L.A. County's tech corridor.
Candidates have the opportunity to be affiliated with our new USC
School of Advanced Computing, with priority given to those whose
research aligns with one or more of the following affinity areas:
computing and (i) sustainability, (ii) security, (iii) health, and
(iv) systems. We seek energetic individuals who will participate in
the department's and the university's research enterprise and engage
with students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Successful
candidates will establish a strong, externally funded, research
program of national prominence while contributing to the core teaching
mission of a top ISE department. An earned doctorate in Industrial and
Systems Engineering, or a closely related field, is required.
