Request to Hire a Researcher
Request to Hire a Researcher
If you are hiring a researcher, we will need to submit the request with Research Faculty HR, receive approval for a position, post a job, perform a background check, and create an offer letter before an individual can begin work. ÌýHere are the different types of researchers we most frequently hire: Professional Research Assistant (PRA); Postdoctoral Associate; Temporary Researcher (can only work for a 9 month period).Ìý Here is a link to the ResFacHR website which describes each of the types:
- Note that whatever the researcher is paid, will have an additional amount added to that for fringe benefits, and if they are being paid from a grant, there will be associated F&A costs.
- If you have an identified candidate, the same process must be followed, however it may be a shorter timeframe.
