Postdoctoral Affairs at USC
The USC Office of Postdoctoral Affairs works closely with the academic units, the USC Career Center and USC postdoctoral scholars to disseminate university initiatives and policies, and to help make USC the university of choice for all postdoctoral scholars. It is the central resource on campus serving as a liaison between the Office of the Provost, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and staff. The office manages the Provost’s Postdoctoral Scholars in the Humanities program that launched this year and provides an annual programming budget to the USC Postdoctoral Association to assist with creating a connected and trained postdoctoral community through professionalization and social events.
An important role of the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is to encourage full integration of postdoctoral scholars into the Trojan Family and life at USC. All postdoctoral scholars are encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities available at USC to learn from and connect with other members of the Trojan Family.
