Resources for Faculty and Staff

VSPA logo

VSPA partners with staff and faculty to support the appointment of postdocs, visiting scholars, and visiting student researchers, and to provide resources that complement their research activities. We are committed to strengthening these partnerships to ensure the VSPA community can thrive at UC Berkeley. This page provides guidance on compliant, efficient appointments, along with recommendations for using VSPA and campus resources to enhance the visitor experience and support research success.

Faculty

Faculty supervisors/sponsors are the linchpins of the postdoc and visiting researcher experience, and vital to the success of their program. We want to make it as easy as possible to get the information you need to help your visitors and postdocs succeed. This page serves as your roadmap.

Staff

Staff provide invaluable expertise, service, and connections to the communities we all serve. As the link between VSPA and our community, staff are essential to the success of our scholars' arrival and beyond. Here we provide guidance on appointments, processing times, fees, and payment.
