Postdoctoral Scholars

In December 2025, several meaningful enhancements were announced to the Research Associate position, which includes a position classification change to Postdoctoral Scholar. Additionally, a new handbook was developed in collaboration with the Office for Postdoctoral Affairs that is intended to serve as a helpful tool for finding all employment practices in one place.

Access the handbook below as well as a summary of changes announced. There are also templates for Individual Development Plans to guide the work of postdocs and create a thoughtful and collaborative plan.
