As a member of the 2nd cohort of Bridge to Faculty Fellows from across the university, the Fellow will have a home in Geography alongside a dynamic group of scholars. With the additional support of USC’s Office of Access and Opportunity and Provost’s Office, Faculty Fellows will have access to institutional resources designed to support their readiness for a tenure-track position.

The Faculty Fellow will be expected to: (1) develop a robust program of research in physical and/or environmental processes (2) meet regularly with faculty mentors; (3) participate in professional development opportunities; and (4) participate in the intellectual life of the Geography department and the University. The Fellow will also have the option to teach one class in the second year.
