Department Description:
The University of San Diego's Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering does more than develop world-class engineers and computer scientists in a nationally recognized program.

The University of San Diego (USD) seeks to hire a Professor of Practice and Director of the Data Science Center to help with the development of new curricula in data science.
