Health Coverage and other Major Benefits
Consult Section 2 of the Postdoctoral Policies for policies on benefits for postdoctoral fellows and associates. Visit Yale Benefits for comprehensive descriptions of postdoc benefits, and contact the Employee Service Center, 203-432-5552, if you have questions.
Counseling Services
Postdocs with Yale health Insurance have free access to Magellan Counseling Services for confidential assistance with personal problems affecting family life, health or job performance. Call 1-800-327-9240 any time day or night. Postdoctoral Fellows with non-Yale health insurance should contact the Office for Postdoctoral Affairs.
Gym Membership
Postdocs and spouses/partners are eligible for Payne Whitney Gym membership for a fee. Visit the Payne Whitney Gym Membership site for more information and current rates.
Library Access
Postdocs and spouses/partners have free access to the University library, YSM library, and online journal subscriptions.
Student Loan deferment
Some student loans from U.S. lending institutions are eligible for payment deferment during postdoctoral training. Deferment decisions are made by the lending institution and not by Yale. If your lending institution allows postdoctoral deferments, request a deferment form and bring it to the Office for Postdoctoral Affairs for processing. We are unable to complete deferment forms that require us to attest that you are an enrolled student at Yale.
