Pros

Mentorship and relationship with professors that I was a TA for extended long beyond the end of my time with their class. I would say this is the biggest benefit of the position.

Cons

Hourly pay - approx. $15 an hour; this is a temporary position and obviously could not supplement full-time employment.

Pros

Tulane offers research support, a clear career ladder toward tenure, decent benefits, and the lifestyle perks of living in a culturally rich city.

Cons

Some departments may have leaner resources compared with top-tier R1 powerhouses, and the pressure to secure external funding can be intense—especially if teaching and service expectations are significant. Tulane can be an excellent place to build a mechanistic, disease-relevant basic research program, but it’s worth evaluating departmental culture, start-up support, and institutional stability carefully before committing.
