Support
Postdoctoral fellows may be hired by the University or one of its affiliated hospitals. Although the Consortium makes every effort to keep stipends uniform across all postdoctoral fellowships, individual hospital administrations set stipend levels. Postdoctoral fellowships which are primarily or exclusively research, versus those which are primarily or exclusively clinical, follow the same guidelines with regard to stipends.
For the 23-24 year we expect most hospital stipends to be $56,484 for first year and $56,880 for second year postdoctoral fellows and VA Medical Center stipends to be $58,222 for first year and $61,369 for second year postdoctoral fellows (subject to change).
