Any issues or conflicts that may arise between a supervisor and postdoc, including those that require disciplinary action, should be dealt with as follows:

  • The supervisor and postdoc should meet to attempt to resolve the issue.
  • If unresolved, consult the Department Chair.
  • If the matter requires further action, please contact the appropriate Associate Dean at Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.

For more advice on developing positive working relationships between postdocs and their supervisors, please consult the Supervision website.

Unionized postdocs should consult the relevant parts of the Collective Agreement that pertain to their situation.
