Hi, all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please see below: a new postdoctoral opportunity in Computing and Society at MIT. This is open (and encouraged!) for young scholars in humanities and social sciences as well as in computing and data sciences. It would provide an opportunity to
pursue one’s own research project while also engaging with various SERC-related efforts.</div>

</div>
<div class="">Stay well!</div>
<div class="">best,</div>
