Recruitment
of Postdoctoral Associates and Fellows is managed by the hiring
department. The posting is either advertised through RICEWorks with all
application materials coming through the system or managed by the hiring department with
all applications materials being sent directly to the department contact. The specific process is determined by academic school. Please refer to the Dean’s
office for guidance on this process for your department.
Affirmative
Action review is necessary for postdoctoral hires, and therefore if the
recruitment process if outside of RICEWorks, the review is completed with the
Affirmative Action form for Faculty and Postdoctoral Searches available on the
HR Forms section of the Human Resources website.
A new postdoctoral
associate/fellow should be directed to the HR Services office in the Memorial
Hermann Medical Plaza (6400 Fannin Suite 2600) on or before their first day of
service to complete employment documents.
Hiring
departments should arrange for the Personnel Action Form (PAF) and signed offer letter to be sent to HR
Services (MS 92) as soon as possible in the process.
