Postdoctoral Research Fellow Appointment Request Form
Please complete this form to request an appointment for a postdoctoral research fellow.
Remember to attach the postdoc's CV by clicking on "Select File" at the bottom of this form and uploading a PDF. A draft offer letter will be sent to you for review.
LSA requires an official document from the PhD conferring institution, usually from the registrar's office, stating that the postdoc has completed their PhD degree requirements (attach to this form if available). If they do not submit this prior to their start date, they will be appointed as a visiting research investigator until this document is received by our office. You can find more information regarding postdocs on the LSA website.
