| < < | 1. Post-docs. Can be paid or unpaid. They must hold a doctorate, and do not have to return to their home institution for degree completion, unlike visiting Doctoral students from other institutions (see Visiting Scholar). They hold term appointments at the University, and can be here for up to three years, renewed annually. It is advisable to start the process of renewal—which includes a renewed letter of invitation, see below-- some three months in advance, in case they need to renew their work permits. | |||||||

Update: There are two classes of post-docs: those who are paid by UBC either from faculty grants or through grants otherwise administered by the University (such as a Killam), and post-docs who have external grant funding such as an NSERC PDF. Post-docs with external funding are considered 'trainees' rather than 'employees' and are not eligible for benefits through UBC. They also require a slightly different offer letter, which contains language referring to the post-doc as being 'appointed' rather than 'employed' by the University. | |||||||
| 2. Visiting faculty. Have appointment at a home institution/university. Can be either paid or unpaid (i.e. funded through home institution); are allowed to teach and co-supervise students. Can be short or long term. They keep the same rank as at their home university (i.e. Assistant Prof, Associate, etc.) Usually here for three months to a year. | ||||||||
