APPOINTING A FN AS A POSTDOC

Follow process for inviting a J-1 Visiting Scholar.

After the foreign national arrives and has visited the IS&FVS office, they should return to your department with their original I-9 in hand. After collecting the original I-9 from the postdoc and verifying that everything is in order (i.e., Winifred Monsell has completed the form and all the appropriate backup copies are attached), please give the postdoc the following paperwork to fill out and return to you in a timely fashion:

  • W-4
  • Salary Deposit Form (not needed if an adjunct appointment)
  • Worker’s Comp Form
  • Employment Application
  • Biographical Data Form for Non-Academic Employees
  • Intellectual Property Agreement
  • Benefits Packet
  • Affirmative Action Data Card


NOTE: Additional forms may be obtained from Ella Bashore (emb8@psu.edu)

After paperwork has been completed and returned, process an electronic GRAD form to appoint the postdoc.

All GRAD forms go to Kathy Kensinger (keg3) for approval.

Postdocs do not receive dental or vision coverage in their health benefits. They may purchase these from outside sources or through the student insurance office on campus.
