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 forms---as 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.
