From the Upstate to the Low country, the University of South Carolina system is transforming the lives of South Carolinians through the impact of our eight institutions and 20 locations throughout the state. More than 50,000 students are enrolled at one of eight institutions, including the research campus in Columbia and comprehensive four-year universities in Aiken, Upstate and Beaufort. In addition, our Palmetto College campuses in Salkehatchie, Union, Lancaster and Sumter enable students to earn associate or bachelor’s degrees through a combination of in-person, online or blended learning.

All of our system institutions place strong emphasis on service — helping to build healthier, more educated communities in South Carolina and beyond.

The College of Engineering and Computing at the University of South Carolina is in the process of expanding its tenured and tenure-track ranks significantly in the next several years. As part of this growth, the Department of Chemical Engineering is looking for dynamic tenured and tenure-track faculty members. Applicants at all ranks are encouraged to apply. Applicants at the Assistant Professor rank must possess a Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering or a related field by the time of appointment, plus demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching and research.

Successful candidates at this rank will be expected to develop and sustain an internationally recognized research program. Applicants for the rank of Associate Professor and Full Professor must also have years of relevant academic experience commensurate with academic policy, plus a strong, sustained record of excellence in teaching and research, including competitive funding and interdisciplinary collaborations. Successful candidates at this rank will also show future plans to further grow their research activities and show leadership in new initiatives within the college.
