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

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 an energetic individual who will participate in the department's 
and the university's research enterprise

Engineering, or a closely related field, is required.
