A. Appointments and Reappointments
A postdoctoral investigator is appointed in the title of “Research Fellow”
if he/she is funded on a fellowship. Otherwise the title is “Research
Associate”. At AECOM, the position of postdoctoral investigator may be
defined as a period of intense postgraduate research,
performed under the guidance of a mentor, on a career
goal towards becoming an independent principal investigator with one’s own
laboratory.
The first appointment will be from the arrival date until the next June
30th. Thereafter, appointments will start July 1 and will be for one year
unless a shorter appointment is specified by the department. Appointments
and reappointments are made by the Dean, based upon the recommendation of
the Principal Investigator and the Chairperson of the department.
The appointment process is initiated by the department in which the
individual will be a postdoctoral investigator. The Faculty Records Office
(facultyrecords@aecom.yu.edu,
room 1202 Belfer, 718-430-2850) is responsible for verification of
credentials and for processing the official appointment and reappointment
letters.
B. Stipend Policy

nationals. Alexia Pakiela serves as the Manager of the International Students and Scholars Office,
which is located in room 1203 of the Belfer Building, and is available to help postdocs regarding visas and immigration status.
