THE TEAM
We strive to build a positive working environment, where the Fieser Lab acts as a collaborative, supportive team. We welcome members from all backgrounds, and aim to provide the surroundings where anyone can thrive as long as they are excited about the work and want to be a team player.
Want to be part of the team? Prospective graduate students, please apply to the graduate program via http://chem.usc.edu/prospective/index.html. (*Note: We do not recruit directly into our research groups. Instead, students admitted to the Chemistry PhD Program do two immersions before joining a lab for their Ph.D. We typically are looking for new students every year to join our team). Undergraduates, please email Professor Fieser ([email protected]). Postdoc applications should also be sent to [email protected] (please include a CV, research summary, and a PDF of a representative publication from your Ph.D. work). Candidates will be considered on a rolling basis when funding becomes available (currently no positions available).
