Expectations and Evaluations

The University has adopted the following universal set of performance expectations (developed by FASEB) for Postdoctoral Fellows:

1. conscientious discharge of assigned duties;
2. adherence to ethical standards;
3. compliance with good laboratory practice and recognized University standards;
4. observation of established guidelines for research involving biohazards, human subjects or animals;
5. open and timely discussion with the mentor regarding research progress, distribution of reagents or materials, or any disclosure of findings or techniques privately or in publications;
6. collegial conduct towards coworkers; and
7. compliance with all applicable University policies and procedures.

A mentor of a Postdoctoral Fellow must complete an annual written evaluation of the Fellow's performance.  The evaluation process should be simple and must include the opportunity for the Fellow to respond in writing to the evaluation.
