In order for the ISSS to issue a DS-2019, scholars must demonstrate financial support for the full period of the requested academic appointment.
To ensure compliance with FLSA and Faculty Affairs policy, host departments should use the Faculty Affairs Salary Guidelines to determine salary for postdoctoral and research positions. Paid researchers and faculty should be awarded a salary that meets department and University equity standards and is commensurate with the scholar’s related experience.
