Grievance Policies for Postdoctoral Fellows

A Postdoctoral Fellow is eligible to use the University's Mediation Policy at any time to address a matter of concern.

Additionally, a Postdoctoral Fellow may use the following procedure to address matters of concern related to his/her appointment:

1. The Fellow must make every effort to resolve the matter informally through discussions with his or her mentor.
2. If the matter is not adequately resolved by discussion with the mentor, the Fellow must then seek resolution informally through the mentor's section head, department chair, center director or other unit administrator directly responsible for the mentor's professional activities.
3. If still unresolved, the Fellow may formally request resolution by the Dean of the School in which the mentor is appointed. Such a request must be accompanied by a written statement describing the matter of concern, the supporting facts, and the disposition of prior informal discussions. The Dean shall seek to resolve the matter promptly, providing a written response outlining the reasons for the decision.
4. If still unresolved, the Fellow may formally request in writing a resolution by the Provost.
