    Default job background
    Description
    Postdoctoral Scholar Research AssociateApply \_REQ /apply) Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences Los Angeles, California

    The University of Southern California (USC), founded in 1880, is located in the heart of downtown L.A. and 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 a great place to work.


    As a community of Dornsife College "we are committed to the creation, preservation, and communication of fundamental knowledge in all its well as a lifelong passion for learning and a commitment to the betterment of society." The academic mission of Dornsife College can only be realized to its fullest potential when we build and protect a representative, equitable, inclusive culture of scholarship for students, faculty, and staff.

    This is not done through initiatives but by embedding these values into the everyday interactions, relationships, policies, and practices of the College.

    What is required is a seamless integration of the tenets of equity and inclusivity into every facet of academic life.

    If we want our scholars, staff, and students to be able to give their very best, we must create an academic environment that portends success.


    Success is possible when every member of the Dornsife community owns their role as a steward of the culture in which we learn, research, and work; when we believe that it is because of who we are that we are able to do what we do: achieve excellence, together.


    Achieving a robust and inclusive academic culture requires more than just the completion of a task, but includes that person's capacity to contribute positively to the relationships and culture of their office or department.

    Therefore, any applicant seeking to advance the mission of Dornsife College should also be assessed on their capacities beyond the technical elements of their work, and demonstrate an understanding of their impact on others, and to articulate how they contribute positively to those around them.

    The USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in the Equity Research Institute at the University of Southern California.

    This is a one-year Power Building postdoctoral scholar Building Research Capacity to Power Health Equity in California, renewable for a second year.

    For more information about us and our projects,
