Postdoctoral Scholars – Reminders
Please process Appointment and Reappointment files in a timely manner: Once reviewed and signed by the School of Medicine Dean, the Postdoc AP-PX-1 form should be provided to the Postdoctoral Scholar as soon as practicable, but no later than seven (7) calendar days following the start of an appointment, or thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start of a reappointment.
For both Appointment and Reappointment files, please allow sufficient time for the Dean’s Office to review the file. From submission date to approval, the Dean’s office requests 2 weeks to review appointment and reappointment files. Processing times could be extended if edits or corrections are required.
Example Timeline:
Appointment Start date: December 1, 2023
File should be submitted to the Office of the Dean by: November 15th or earlier
Reappointment Date: March 1, 2024

Postdoctoral Scholars are due an Annual Review: Department Analysts: please ensure that the academic supervisor or PI provides the Postdoctoral Scholar with at least one written review per 12-month period. Departments may use the PX-3 form for this assessment and must keep a record at the department level. The PX-3 form is required to be submitted to the Dean’s office with the reappointment file.
