Post Doc Renewals

General Overview:

• Upon reappointment:

  • All post docs must be renewed with a 3% increase or to the next level minimums, whichever is greater

    • Next level minimums – meaning the NRSA experience schedule https://www.niaid.nih.gov/grants-contracts/salary-cap-stipends

    • Typically the 3% is greater in most cases

    • This is required

  • If a PI is looking to pay more than the above at the time of reappointment, approval is required with proper justification

• If a post doc is being hired for more than a five year term, approval is required

Approval currently resides with Kristen Brierley and Kent Holsinger, so please email Melissa first with the information for the employee

*If a Post Doc is not being renewed, it is University practice to provide at least a 30 day notice in writing of non-renewals*

Question:

Should departments notify you of non-standard Postdoc appointments due to visa issues?

Answer:

Departments still should come through Labor Relations for approval of a non-standard appointment even if the issue relates to their visa.
