When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate's work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, federal, state, and local laws, contractual stipulations, grant funding, as well as external market and organizational considerations. The scholar will have opportunities to develop scientific questions, lead abstracts and first-author manuscripts, and build an increasingly independent research trajectory while working closely with RER faculty, clinical-trial investigators, and statistical collaborators.
