In December 2022, the University of California and employees represented by the United Auto Workers (UAW) reached new collective bargaining agreements for represented Postdoctoral Scholars and Academic Researchers and Academic Student Employees and Graduate Student Researchers.
Contracts and Grants Accounting, the Office of Sponsored Research, and UCSF Human Resources have produced a video presentation to assist research administrators in understanding the various appointment combinations and funding requirements for Postdoctoral Scholars, GSRs, and Residents/Clinical Fellows under the new bargaining agreements.
The presentation is divided into approximately one-hour recorded sections that will be available beginning December 11, 2023, and will cover appointment requirements based on collective bargaining agreements for:
- Postdoctoral Scholars
- Graduate Student Researchers (GSR)
- Residents and Clinical Fellows
Watch the video presentation, titled Trainee Appointment and Compensation Review Under the New Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA), in the UC Learning Center beginning on December 11. Live Q&A sessions will be offered via Zoom in January 2024, to provide a forum for research administrators to ask follow-up questions after the presentation.
We strongly encourage all research administrators with responsibility for financial/post award management of Postdoctoral Scholars, Graduate Student Researchers (GSRs), and Residents/Clinical Fellows, to watch the recorded presentation and attend a follow-up Q&A session.
Look for additional information at the December 13 Research Administration Town Hall and in the RA Town Hall channel of the Research Administration forum on Microsoft Teams. If you have questions, contact [email protected].
