The session served as an important platform to clarify the roles and responsibilities of postdoctoral staff, particularly in relation to key performance indicators (KPIs) involving teaching, scholarly publications, research support, and academic supervision. Discussions also emphasised the significant role of postdoctoral researchers in advancing research projects and contributing to OYAGSB’s broader agenda of academic excellence and research impact.
In addition, matters related to workstation arrangements were discussed, with postdoctoral staff given the flexibility to be based either at the OYAGSB Kuala Lumpur campus or the main campus, depending on operational requirements and the nature of their work responsibilities.
