Congratulations on your postdoctoral appointment!
Postdocs are a unique time of learning and professional development as you transition to a career as an independent researcher inside or outside of academia.
We are excited to have you joining our community of over 350 postdocs and have compiled information and resources to support you as you transition to your role as a postdoc at the University of Waterloo, including:
- Information on reviewing and accepting your offer of appointment
- A “getting started” checklist to support you as you prepare for your appointment and in your first few days, including specific information for international scholars
- Human Resources related information about health coverage, benefits and leaves for postdocs
- Resources and information to support postdocs in coming to Canada and relocating to the Waterloo Region
- Information for postdocs with families, to support a smooth transition for partners and children
- Tips from current and past postdocs Sonia Jaberi and Hector Perez in our postdoc profiles
If you have any questions you can’t find the answer to, please contact our Postdoctoral Affairs team at postdocs@uwaterloo.ca. We look forward to hearing from you and formally welcoming you to the postdoc community once you begin your appointment.
