Oct 15, 2015 at 15:34 comment added Brian Borchers It's possible that the post-doc working for another university has an employee handbook or employment contract that limits their ability to "moonlight" for another university. If the post-doc is not a permanent resident in the US, then their visa would typically not allow them to work for another employer.

Oct 15, 2015 at 9:57 comment added Memming @daaxix no VISA issues. I just wanted to see what was done out there.
Oct 15, 2015 at 9:56 comment added Memming @BrianBorchers Yes, I meant "working for another university". Thanks for the useful info.
Oct 14, 2015 at 23:45 comment added daaxix My group had a few split post-docs, but there were all at the same university. Funding is always tight, so you should ask the post-doc's supervisor and the post-doc and see if they'll allow it/are interested, then deal with the administrative issues that may come up only if the supervisor and post-doc are willing...in the US there can also be Visa issues if the two jobs are disparate enough...
Oct 14, 2015 at 14:44 comment added Brian Borchers By "working in another institute", do you mean "working for another university", or do you mean working in another department within your university? In the later case you would have to arrange to pay part of the post-doc's salary and reduce his/her effort on the other project.
