      Great place to work but there are too many overlaping jobs.

      Pros

      You can do anything at UCLA; from bread baker to CFO. There are lots of professional development opportunities and the resources are endless. The right connections could launch your career.

      Cons

      It is easy to get too comfortable in one position. For those just starting out, I recommend moving around every couple of years to keep your salary going up and expand your network.

      It all depends on the supervisor

      Post-doctoral fellow

      Pros

      You can find great resources: library access, gym access, etc. You can make appointments with many renown and senior professors with the title of UCLA if they may not pay attention to your inquiry otherwise.

      Cons

      If you work for professor's project, and the project is already defined, you have to make sure that you are the best fit for the project. It's a tough time in economy, so you want a job, but you should not get a job that does not fit with the subject (again, defined by the professor, not by you) or with the supervisor.

      Fantastic scientific community, but scarce funding

      Visiting assistant professor

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of the brightest minds in the world will be your colleagues Prestigious medical school Talented students - both undergraduate and graduate Many opportunities for scientific inquiries and collaboration between colleagues within your own school and department as well other schools and departments within the UCLA community and the sister UC campuses

      Cons

      Junior faculty are overworked here in this highly reputable institution which may not be uncommon in other top tier research universities Funding is tight, making it stressful for faculty to complete their teaching loads and research
