Postdoctoral Scholar
University of Southern California
The Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the University of Southern California (USC) is seeking postdoctoral scholar(s) to join our scholarly community (http://chan.usc.edu/). The scholar(s) will serve on our USC Chan Initiative entitled Responding to Society’s Post-Pandemic Occupational Needs (ReSPONs). ReSPONs was created to address pressing societal needs at the intersection of the public health, economic, and racial pandemics affecting society. The scholar(s) will engage in research that addresses occupational disruptions and health disparities, particularly in disadvantaged, disproportionately affected, or under-represented populations. The primary responsibility is to accelerate the creation of innovations to address the ongoing needs of individuals, families, and communities, as the chronic effects of these pandemics continue to impact health, well-being, and occupational engagement.
Candidates should demonstrate a track record of scholarship and a strong commitment to contributing to socially responsive and community-engaged research and program development. We seek established individuals who thrive in contemporary interdisciplinary academic arenas, can produce impactful findings, and facilitate knowledge translation to critical health or societal issues. Preference will be given to scholars who are recognized experts in occupational science, occupational therapy, health equity/social justice, health promotion, and disability studies.
Applicants must have obtained a research doctoral degree in an area applicable to occupational science or occupational therapy, must articulate existing/potential contributions to these fields through projected research, and should identify potential mentors within our division. Opportunities for seed money and to participate in grantsmanship will be available.
