Wellness Resources for Postdoctoral Fellows

Get access to medical, prescription, vision and dental insurance coverage — plus life and voluntary insurance and retirement plans specifically for appointed academic staff through Indiana University Human Resources.

As an appointed postdoctoral fellow, your insurance coverage is effective on the first day of active employment as an eligible appointee and ends on the date you cease to be a member of this eligible class for coverage. Learn more about eligibility requirements, coverage period, enrollment guidelines and how to continue coverage in the event of a job loss.
