Policy on Postdoctoral Fellows

The Policy on Postdoctoral Fellows applies to all Postdoctoral Fellows (PDFs) who receive income through McMaster University's payroll and/or who hold an externally-awarded postdoctoral fellowship for which McMaster University is the formally designated institution for tenure of the award.

McMaster University considers PDFs to be an integral part of the University and its mission. To recognize their contributions, the University offers Postdoctoral Fellows services and benefits intended to meet their needs and to enhance the value of their experience. The university expects in return that Postdoctoral Fellows will comply with all relevant University policies and will acknowledge their affiliation with the University in their publications and in their participation in scholarly meetings and endeavours.
