Postdoc Classifications

On December 1, 2016, OHSU will refer to all postdocs as Postdoctoral Scholars, regardless of the source of funding. However, the source of funding affects your eligibility for certain benefits.

1. Postdoctoral Scholars paid by OHSU are individuals appointed 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. An at-will employee can be terminated at any time, for any lawful reason, with or without notice.
   
2. Postdoctoral Scholars by stipend are individuals appointed to gain research experience under the guidance of a faculty mentor and who receive a stipend, which is funded from a training grant or individual external fellowship. In some cases, the funding agency pays stipends directly to the Postdoctoral Scholar. Individuals holding this title are not employees of OHSU.
