CU Postdoc Fellows Survey

Fellow Postdocs: We're surveying Columbia postdoctoral fellows with respect to their experiences related to onboarding, pay, health insurance, taxes, etc, to use in the bargaining process of our new contract (scheduled for December). The survey should only take ~5-10min. Collectively, we can help the bargaining committee develop contract language proposals that continue to bring protection and equity to postdoc fellows across the university.

Note: Any information we gather – via this survey or otherwise – will be kept confidential unless you want your name to be shared. These survey data are for us to have a better idea of the condition of our workers and we would only share data in aggregate with Columbia during the bargaining process.
