Info for Postdocs
The information below is provided to make your time as a postdoctoral fellow
at OHSU productive and enjoyable. The following links provide direct access

OHSU officially has an institutional-wide postdoctoral policy, effective January 1st, 2008.
Summary of OHSU Postdoctoral Policy
Offical OHSU Postdoctoral Policy (coming soon!)
In an effort to develop consistency for postdoctoral fellows, OHSU has created an institutional-wide policy defining and addressing
the pay and benefits, duration of appointments, leave time, and notice of appointments for postdoctoral fellows. Below we have highlighted
various aspects of the new policy, which will take effect on January 1st, 2008. In addition to the link found here, you may find exerpted
information about the policy here.
There are two classifications of postdoctoral fellows based on source of funding and job purpose.
Postdoctoral Researchers are individuals appointed in this classification to gain research experience under the guidance of a
faculty mentor and who receive a salary to perform research. Individuals holding this title are employees of OHSU, are considered "at-will"
and do not receive annual contracts.
Postdoctoral Trainees are individuals appointed in this classification to pursue advanced training under the guidance of a faculty
mentor and who receive a stipend that is funded from a training grant or individual external fellowship. Individuals holding this title are
not employees of OHSU. They generally have an initial appointment of one year, which is reviewed annually for reappointment. A 30-day notice
is given of non-renewal.
