U of Southern California starts program to train recent Ph.D.s as teachers
September 29, 2015 /
Many humanities and social science Ph.D.s leave graduate school and are thrust into adjunct employment as they seek out more permanent positions. Others take on postdoctoral fellowships — essentially full-time teaching or research gigs — under one or two-year contracts that may offer little in the way of mentorship.
The University of Southern California has created an alternative for a select number of recent graduates, offering them full-time employment, with benefits, for up to two years. In return, these Ph.D.s teach four class discussion sections for a faculty mentor, as well as a course of their own design.
