Transitioning to a postdoctoral fellowship

Transitioning to a postdoctoral fellowship while at Yale has important implications on your salary, taxes, and benefits you’re offered. These implications are not obvious, and in many cases, are confusing and difficult to navigate for postdoctoral associates transitioning to a fellowship position. Since Yale provides only minimal information about the transition, the YPA has assembled a PDA-to-PDF guide and is lobbying the administration to provide professional guidance and better access to relevant PDA-to-PDF information.
