Our post-doc has only been a post-doc for 2 years. We had considered
appointing her to an academic staff position (research scholar) in
conjunction with the award, which is something we've done on other
K-awards successfully. But the R00 in the last three years makes
this different, and the announcement is vague as to what position the
candidate would hold in the first two years, only that they be a
"postdoctoral research scientist".
I don't think any of these awards have been made yet since it's new
as of this past April.
