About Clemson

One of the country’s most selective public research universities, Clemson University serves a uniquely driven and highly accomplished student body.

Ranked consistently as one of the best national public university by U.S.News & World Report, Clemson is a science- and engineering-oriented college dedicated to teaching, research and service. Founded in 1889, we remain committed both to world-class research and a high quality of life. In fact, 91 percent of our seniors say they’d pick Clemson again if they had it to do over.

Clemson’s retention and graduation rates rank among the highest in the country for public universities. We’ve been named among the best values by Kiplinger magazine in 2013, and SmartMoney in 2012 ranked us No. 7 in student return on investment.

Our beautiful college campus sits on 1,400 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, along the shores of Hartwell Lake. But we also have research facilities and economic development hubs throughout the state of South Carolina — in Greenville, Greenwood, Columbia and Charleston.

Clemson University has the highest Carnegie research designation (R1), and recently completed its Clemson Forward plan with strategic focus on advancing our doctoral programs and strengthening our research and scholarly impact while still preserving the outstanding signature undergraduate experience that is at the heart of Clemson. Clemson Forward has at its core the mission being a model for the 21st Century land grant university.

The University, the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences, and the School of Computing are committed to building a community of inclusive excellence, where faculty scholars are dedicated to working and teaching in a multi-cultural environment (http://www.clemson.edu/inclusion/). In addition, Clemson University recognizes that many prospective candidates for faculty positions at Clemson have dual career needs. The Dual Career Program in the Office of the Provost provides support when considering employment opportunities with the university and in the surrounding community.

South Carolina’s highest-ranked national university is located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by Lake Hartwell and the Clemson Experimental Forest. A top-25 public university with a reputation for excellence, Clemson University provides a hands-on education — in the lab, in the classroom and in the field. Academic programs lay the groundwork for innovative research, and real-world experiences carry forward to rewarding careers. This strikingly beautiful campus enjoys a temperate and pleasant climate.

The School of Computing offers potential for location at one of three campuses that interact together: the historic main campus in Clemson, the International Center for Automotive Research (ICAR) in Greenville, and the Zucker Family Graduate Education Center at the Clemson University Restoration Institute (CURI) in North Charleston. The town of Clemson, city population of about 20,000, is ranked #1 in the United States for “town-and-gown” relations and is nestled among beautiful lakes and foothills with nearby waterfalls, mountains, and other beautiful natural scenery to be enjoyed by outdoor enthusiasts. CU-ICAR is a 250-acre campus midway between Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA on the Interstate 85 corridor. Greenville, city population of about 70,000, has been a model for urban planning and renewal, making it the most popular upstate destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Livability recently ranked it one of the Top 10 Best Downtowns in the country. The Zucker Family Graduate Education Center at CURI holds approximately 70,000 square-feet of facilities, overlooks the Cooper River, and is located near historic Charleston, the largest city in the state with downtown population of about 140,000. The historic port city, founded in 1670, is often cited for its beauty, history, food, livability, business climate, and romantic appeal, often topping the list of Travel and Leisure magazine’s best destination list for the past many years. The state-of-the-art facilities host regular interactions among faculty, staff, students, and private industry in an enjoyable and creative environment with close proximity to the CHS International Airport, the historic downtown, Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, and Summerville.

We welcome applications and nominations of outstanding scholar-educators to come join the Clemson Family.
