Most postdocs are hired directly by PIs. But others are hired by departments (for example, most math postdocs) or sub-departments (for example, the Simons postdoc in theoretical CS). Still others are "hired" by funding agencies (for example, NSF mathematical sciences postdocs, or the former Computing Innovations postdocs). | |
