must be hired – at minimum – at the salary level on the UC scale (see below) that is appropriate for their experience, in accordance with the agreement between the University of California and UAW, the union representing postdocs in the UC system.</p> <hr /> <p>While salary increments are based on the steps of the <a href="https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-19-036.html" target="_blank">NIH/NRSA scale</a>, the bottom of the UC postdoc salary scale (level 0) is the same as level 2 on the NIH scale. "Experience level" means a postdoc's previous experience as a postdoc, including postdoctoral appointments at UC and/or other institutions.</p> <p><strong><a id="title-code" name="title-code"></a>There are five types of postdocs</strong>,<strong> </strong>designated by the following "title codes" in the University personnel system and determined by how you are paid. The same standard for compensation applies to all types; however, it is important to know what kind of postdoc you are, as this may affect your retirement benefits and how you pay your taxes. Note that a postdoc may be appointed under more than one title code, since there may be more than one source of funding for an appointment.</p> <!--########################### Expand/Collapse JS and CSS code for use in the HEAD section of your document.
