College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) Supplemental Policy to HR 104 Relocation Expenses Recommendation
For Postdoctoral Scholars
Typically, postdoctoral scholars are not offered relocation expenses as part of their hiring package. However, if the individual is relocating from outside the Centre Region (>50 miles), the dean may authorize relocation expenses consistent with guidance for faculty and staff captured in HR 104 and paid out in a taxable lump sum to the postdoctoral scholar.
