Resources for International Postdocs

Important information to know that is unique to the international postdoc experience

  • Unpaid vacation is unavailable, so international postdocs are restricted to established paid vacation or sick leave time

  • International postdocs are not allowed to work remotely from outside the US

  • The termination period for contracts is only 15 days, leaving little room for finding alternative appointments
