The Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (http://cee.usc.edu ) in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering is searching for outstanding faculty candidates in all areas of environmental engineering.

To receive full consideration, candidates should apply on-line at: https://usccareers.usc.edu/search-jobs . Application materials must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests (1 page), statement of teaching interests (1 page), succinct statement on fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion and contact information for five references.
