Excellent GPA, prior publication record, and strong reference letters are highly desirable. Although it is possible to receive a research assistant position from Prof. Pedram's group directly, it is strongly recommended that students enter the USC fellowship competition i.e., apply for the university and/or school-wide fellowships first. Interested applicants may send an email to pedram@usc.edu about their application and qualifications, but they should not expect a direct email response.
