Termination and Postdoc Notice of Resignation

Postdocs are expected to provide at least one month’s notice of resignation. When appropriate to the discipline, it is the obligation of the postdoc to ensure that all research materials and records are left in a state to allow continuation of the project.
 

In the case of early contract termination due to unsatisfactory performance, the FAS Appointments Handbook describes the process and documentation required here.
 

Ordinarily, a minimum of 3 months’ notice of the nonrenewal of a Postdoctoral Fellow or a Research Associate appointment will be expected, except in extraordinary circumstances.
