Pay and Benefits

Vacation and Leave Time

The University of Louisville offers competitive stipends, following the recently increased NIH NRSA stipend levels, for all Postdoctoral Fellows and Trainees regardless of funding source. Annual Work Anniversary increases are automatically implemented, moving the Postdoctoral Fellow to the next stipend level and occur in the month following the appointment date. Please note that for those Postdoctoral Trainees on NIH Fellowship funding, the increase occurs with the new Notice of Award or increased Statement of Appointment from NIH.

Postdoctoral Fellows and Trainees are also eligible for benefits, including health insurance and paid leave time. You can learn more about these benefits below.
