Hiring a long-term out-of-state postdoc?
University of Utah employees are expected to live and work in the state of Utah. However, there may be extraordinary circumstances when the University’s business needs are best met by employing an individual who resides outside of the state of Utah. Telecommuting from outside the state of Utah for periods of 60 calendar days or longer is discouraged and requires Out of State Committee approval. Due to complex legal and tax issues, remote work outside of the United States is not permitted except for: temporary, short-term periods of 60 calendar days or less or those involving exceptional circumstances.
