IRIS-HEP Fellows onboarding

Welcome to IRIS-HEP! Congratulations on your acceptance into the IRIS-HEP Fellows Program. We look forward to your contribution and collaboration.

There are some additional items needed to complete the onboarding process.

For tax purposes, we need you to answer the following questions:

Please complete and attach the appropriate form and answer the two questions above in an email message to fellows@iris-hep.org.

If you have general tax-related questions, please email finance@princeton.edu. For personal tax-related questions, we encourage you to seek the advice of a tax professional.

IRIS-HEP Web Site

Additionally, we also would like to add you to our Fellows webpage:

IRIS-HEP Fellows Slack Channel

Please also join the IRIS-HEP Fellows Slack Channel to interact with other Fellows and Mentors.

We will also use this channel to communicate news items and announce Fellows-relevant events this summer.

IRIS-HEP Fellows Slack Channel

Once you accept the invite you can join the fellows channel in Slack by searching for “#fellows”, selecting the channel and clicking “Join Channel” or by typing:

/join #fellows

in the message field and sending the message.

In general with communications on the Slack channel, we expect our members to:

• Be welcoming and support people of all backgrounds and identities
• Be considerate in words and actions
• Be respectful

More specifically, the values outlined in our Code of Conduct applies equally to all community members in all institute situations online and offline. As IRIS-HEP members, we expect fellows to be stewards of these values as well.
