Postdoc Orientation

Postdocs receive orientation training designed for all new Purdue University employees through HR onboarding protocols. Additionally, we created guides to cover three major topics of interest for postdoctoral scholars.

General Purdue Orientation

New@Purdue Employee Experience Program is Purdue’s orientation training designed for all new staff.

Purdue’s “Welcome” page guides you through onboarding steps to take once you sign your offer letter.

HR created this checklist to help you juggle your many onboarding tasks!

We share information about Purdue University and our campus locations, connect you with institutional off-campus housing and transportation resources, and help you know how to plug into the Postdoc Community once you arrive.

This guide is designed to help new postdoctoral scholars navigate the onboarding process. We connect you with institutional employment resources and information related to taxes, benefits, and employment policies.
