Medical coverage for Postdoctoral Fellows is administered on the Homewood Campus through the Registrar's Office. It is University policy that all full-time students in the Schools of Arts and Sciences "maintain adequate health insurance coverage to provide protection against unexpected accidents and illnesses". This policy may be accessed at http://www.jhu.edu/~registr/insurance/insurpage4.html Questions regarding the insurance requirement may be addressed to Gail Rauenzahn, Assistant Insurance Coordinator, at 410-516-8079.
Voluntary 403(b) Retirement Plan
Postdoctoral Fellows who receive a salary from the University, may be
eligible to participate in the Voluntary 403(b) Retirement Plan which
is an income deferral plan. (Income received from stipends does not qualify.)
Postdoctoral Fellows do not receive University matching funds if they
choose to participate.
To participate in the plan, enrollment material may be obtained from
the Benefits Service Center (x62000) and returned to the Center on the
6th floor of the Wyman Building after completion. . This material includes
the necessary forms to authorize a reduction in the Postdoctoral Fellow's
taxable compensation and to allocate the contribution to one or more of
the investment companies offered under this plan. An enrollment application
for each of the investment companies chosen must also be completed. Questions
regarding a specific fund may be directed to the individual investment
companies listed in materials provided by the Benefits Service Center.
