Benefits package for post-doctoral fellows

[full-time and part-time (50% or greater) employees for contracts of at least 8 months or greater]

 

There are three categories of Fellows:

  • Postdoctoral Fellow Employees: Hired by Dalhousie grant holders and paid primarily from a research grant held by a Dalhousie faculty member.
  • Postdoctoral Fellow Scholars: Are named recipients of funding awards. Scholars are eligible for benefits only where their award funding is administered through Dalhousie’s payroll system. A top-up payment or stipend alone does not qualify.
  • Clinical Fellow Employees: MD graduates obtaining advanced clinical specialty training.

Benefits information sessions are offered virtually each month and are a great opportunity to learn about your benefits and ask questions. Whether you're new to Dal or just looking for a refresher, you can register through the Employee Learning Management System [login required].
