Associate/Professor of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine,/Biomedical Engineering (Tenure)
Keck School of Medicine · Irvine, CA
FULL-TIME
Posted Sep 5, 2026
Job Description
The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is the largest private employer in the City of Los Angeles. As an employee of USC, you will be a part of a world-class research university and a member of the "Trojan Family," which is comprised of the faculty, students and staff that make the university what it is.
The Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (stemcell.keck.usc.edu) at the USC Keck School of Medicine, in partnership with the School of Advanced Computing (sac.usc.edu) within the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, invites applications from outstanding faculty candidates at the level of Associate Professor or above with expertise in computational modeling of human tissues. We seek candidates who develop frameworks to understand and control complex tissue-scale dynamics, such as multicellular interactions, structural remodeling, and mechanoadaptation. We expect candidates to integrate mechanistic and data-driven approaches to bridge molecular, cellular, and tissue scales and develop predictive computational frameworks that enable fundamental biological discoveries, inform therapeutic strategies, and/or guide the design of engineered living systems.
We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in coupling cell/tissue dynamics to biophysical features relevant to the cardiovascular system, such as electromechanical coupling, inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and/or fluid dynamics.
The successful candidate will be a core member of the new Center for Stem Cell Engineering, a joint initiative between the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and the Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering (bme.usc.edu), recently announced as a joint department between USC Keck and USC Viterbi. The mission of the Center is to integrate stem cells, microphysiological systems, synthetic biology, and advanced computational frameworks to develop predictive human tissue models
