This procedure applies to non-IUSM postdoctoral academic appointees: AC1, RSP.
- It does not apply to those individuals classified as FLP (externally-funded postdoctoral fellows).
Those follow the rules of their funded program.
- It does not apply to IUSM AC1-RSPs. Refer them to the IUSM office:
https://medicine.iu.edu/research/training-programs/postdoctoral/
Schools can appoint and renew postdoctoral AC1s through their own processes up through the third year.
After the third year, send a request to acadhr@iupui.edu Include the following information:
- Employee’s name, UID, department, and supervisor
- Brief description of their position; if a job description was used in recruitment, include that.
- Brief explanation of how the postdoctoral work continues to be of benefit to the employee’s career development
- Estimate of the total length of the postdoctoral position for this individual
OAA will give permission for the unit to apply an extension of either one year at a time, or for the total estimated length if it is sufficiently firm. The unit does not need to apply the entire approved extension at that time.
Postdoctoral AC1s may be terminated with notice of 1 pay period prior to the end of an appointment. If, for example, OAA gives permission for an extension of 2 years (five total) the unit may process a title end date edoc for 6 months in the future and repeat if needed.
Consider the appointment option of a Research Scientist. Like postdoctoral AC1s, their appointment lengths are flexible and are dependent upon funding.
