Services for Post-Doctoral Fellows with Disabilities
Johns Hopkins University does not discriminate on the basis of gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic in any student program, activity administered by the University, admission or employment.
A person with a disability is defined by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as an individual who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.
Student Disability Services Office (SDS)
- Assists the University in compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), ADA Amendments Act (2008), and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 for full-time undergraduate, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering.
- Assists the University community in understanding the effects of disabilities and in eliminating the physical, technical, attitudinal and programmatic barriers that limit the range of opportunities for students with disabilities.
- Arranges for review documentation and provides individuals with reasonable accommodations.
- Maintains and protects the confidentiality of individual records as required by law.
Prospective and current post-doctoral fellows with a disability who may need accommodations and who may apply to the Johns Hopkins University are urged to contact Student Disability Services now to discuss how the University could provide reasonable and necessary accommodations to you. Satisfaction with your chosen post-doctoral appointment will depend on many things, including how well the university and the disability services program meet your needs as a person with a disability. Contacts with SDS are strictly confidential and are not shared with others except with permission of the individual or as required by law.
