The Postdoctoral Scholars Standards and Guidelines handbook defines and sets forth terms and conditions relating to employment of postdoctoral scholars at the University of South Florida.
Appointing a Postdoc
These guidelines and procedures will aid faculty and departments when hiring postdoctoral scholars, including information on appointment types, salary expectations, degree verification, and more.
NIH-NSF GSS Reporting
The Graduate Students and Postdoctorates in Science and Engineering survey (NIH-NSF GSS) is an annual census of all U.S. academic institutions granting research-based master's degrees or doctorates in science, engineering, and selected health fields as of fall of the survey year. These instructions should guide you how to complete the postdoctorate and non-faculty researcher portion of the survey.
