Benefits

Postdocs at Penn State are considered in some ways to be faculty, and receive some of the benefits faculty receive.

In particular:

• Health insurance, dental and vision
• Bus passes
• Parking
• New parent accommodation (leave)
• Employee assistance program
• Ability to purchase fitness membership

I'm sure there are more …

We do not get all benefits of regular faculty/staff however. In particular, we are not eligible for:

• Educational benefits
