Salary

The starting salary/stipend for CNET postdocs is $60,000, with yearly increases depending on annual reviews.  Candidates with specialized skills may be eligible for higher salaries.

Benefits

UAB has two types of postdoctoral appointments, depending on whether the postdoc is supported by a fellowship, and the benefits differ slightly between them.  Most CNET postdocs are Postdoctoral Employees (Status Code 21) and are eligible to participate in UAB’s 403(b) plan with employer matching of up to 5% of salary. Health, Dental, and Vision insurance plans are available with premiums. Those with a fellowship as defined by the IRS are Postdoctoral Trainees (Status Code 20) and have no federal or state income tax withholding (US citizens) and receive UAB-paid Health insurance; Vision and Dental insurance plans are available with premiums. For both appointment types, UAB provides term life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Click here for details.
