Concurrent Appointment & Outside Activity


Instructions

If you intend to participate in any outside activity, you should first discuss with your sponsor and then complete an Outside Activity form in your Disclosure  of Financial Interests and Commitments on your Access account.
*J-1 visa holders need to contact ISS for approval before engaging in any outside activity.


Your faculty sponsor and the PMA Division Operations Officer will then receive a link to review the OA request. 


Policy

See Full-Time Commitment in the Postdoc Handbook:

Due to the intensity of commitment required of Postdoctoral Scholars, the Institute makes such appointments with an expectation that they will devote themselves full-time to the research and education programs they have established with their faculty sponsors. For that reason, Postdoctoral Scholar appointments are made on a full-time basis only. Scholars may hold no other concurrent appointments. In rare circumstances, and only with approval of the faculty sponsor, Division Chair, and Vice Provost, Postdoctoral Scholars may be permitted to take on additional assignments, the activities of which must be consistent with and supportive of their research and education program.
