Trent University considers Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars to be an important part of the University community who can contribute significantly to the institutional mission. Therefore, the University makes opportunities and facilities available to qualified scholars so that they can continue their advanced study and research under guidance of, or in collaboration with, Trent faculty. The University has a responsibility to offer Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars some official status at Trent, to enhance the value of their experience, and to make services available to meet their needs. Trent University must also exercise due diligence in ensuring that Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars on campus are known to the university community and they or their families can be reached in case of emergency. The University, in return, expects that Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars will comply with University policies and regulations, and will recognize their affiliation with the University in their publications and in their participation in scholarly meetings. The Office of Research and Innovation is prepared to be the administrative unit that is responsible for Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars at Trent University
