The Department of Biomedical Engineering at USC invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at all levels in the general area of neuroengineering.

Successful applicants are expected to establish an independent research program of distinction, as well as effective collaborations with other USC faculty in engineering and the life sciences. Particular areas of interest include: neural control of natural or prosthetic motor function, neural tissue engineering, biomaterials of neural-abiotic interfaces, molecular and cell biology of engineer-modified nervous systems, neuromorphic vision systems and neural coding, and the development of biomimetic hardware/software systems. The Department includes 12 primary and 55 affiliated faculty with research strengths in neuroengineering, computational bioengineering, device/diagnostic technologies, and bioimaging. The Department hosts 4 national centers of funded research: the Biomimetic Microelectronic Systems Engineering Research Center (BMES-ERC), the Biomedical Simulations Resource, the Medical Ultrasonic Transducer Technology Research Center, and the Center for Neural Engineering. It is anticipated that the successful candidate would work in research areas related to the mission of the NSF-funded BMES-ERC. New faculty will also have the opportunity to work with the technology development staff of the Alfred E. Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering at USC, whose role is to translate research products into commercially viable technologies to improve human health and well-being. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae and research/education statement along with three letters of recommendation by mail and/or e-mail to:

Michael C.K. Khoo, Chair
Department of Biomedical Engineering,
DRB-140, University of Southern California,
Los Angeles, CA 90089-1111
(email: khoo@usc.edu).

Applications received by November 1, 2007, will be given priority consideration.
