Once
a postdoc applicant has accepted a position at Joslin, their
Investigator will contact the Research Programs Administrator
in the Office of Sponsored Research to begin the visa application
process. Joslin is an affiliate of Harvard Medical School,
thus the Harvard International Office will sponsor the visas
for Joslin international postdocs. The Research Programs Administrator
makes these arrangements. The Harvard International Office
website has useful information for housing: www.hio.harvard.edu/students_scholars/housing/ and
other facts about arriving in Boston.
All accepted international postdoc applicants will receive
two mailings:
one from the International Office with important
visa forms and information
another from the Research Programs Administrator with additional
important forms and information necessary for working at
Joslin.
All foreign postdocs also receive a useful guide to Boston,
Welcome to Boston that has practical information to help
facilitate the adjustment to living in Boston.
