Postdoctoral Research Associates at Brown University who are preparing to transition to a Postdoctoral Fellow appointment are encouraged to review the Postdoctoral Research Associate to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition FAQ. This reference document addresses commonly asked questions and is intended to help postdocs better understand changes to benefits eligibility that may occur with the appointment transition.

Postdocs may also find OUPA’s Benefits Summary for Postdoctoral Appointments useful, as it compares benefits across appointment types. Additional information is available on the Postdoctoral Fellow Benefits page of the OUPA website.

OUPA also provides Postdoctoral Fellows with access to a service through Personal Finance for PhDs to help them understand quarterly estimated income taxes. Postdoctoral Fellows can learn more on the Taxes and Withholding page of the OUPA website.
