Postgraduate Salary Minimum

Yale’s minimum compensation level for postgraduate trainees is $3,200 per month or $38,400 per year, effective July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024 and $3,500 per month or $42,00 per year, effective July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025. These minima also apply to Laboratory Associates and Visting Fellows appointments.

Postgraduate trainees may not receive compensation at or above that of a first year postdoctoral trainee.
