Postdoctoral Research Scientists Clause Samples
The 'Postdoctoral Research Scientists' clause defines the terms and conditions governing the appointment and responsibilities of postdoctoral researchers within an organization or under a specific agreement. It typically outlines eligibility criteria, duration of appointment, reporting structure, and expectations regarding research activities and deliverables. For example, it may specify that postdoctoral researchers are engaged for a fixed term to conduct research under the supervision of a principal investigator. The core function of this clause is to establish clear guidelines for the engagement and management of postdoctoral researchers, ensuring both parties understand their roles and obligations.
Postdoctoral Research Scientists. Scholars, as defined in the current Faculty Handbook, may be appointed for a term up to twelve (12) months, which is renewable for up to a total period of service in any postdoctoral rank of three years. Further extensions of an appointment in this rank require the prior permission of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Extensions may be granted on an annual basis up to a maximum of two (2) additional years in any postdoctoral rank. The total duration of an individual’s postdoctoral service may not exceed five years, including postdoctoral service at other institutions. If a postdoctoral research scientist/scholar is not to be renewed, the University will provide notice of non-renewal three (3) months prior to the end of the appointment term, where possible.
