Pros

The UC system is a strong place to work for research, and there is a lot of growth happening on campus.

Cons

UC Merced is still very isolated from its community, there is little infrastructure outside the University, and the faculty is still an ecclectic grouping–there are not many well developed faculty groups/departments. Additionally, UC post docs do not get Kaiser.
