<div dir="ltr">Dear Postdocs,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are writing to invite you to apply to be a postdoc
representative on MIT's Council on Family and Work <br>
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://committees.mit.edu/family-and-work-council">http://committees.mit.edu/family-and-work-council</a>), which
serves in an advisory and deliberative capacity concerning
family and work-related issues as they impact MIT's faculty,
staff, and students.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is the Council's responsibility to:</div>
<div>1) Identify family and work-related issues, </div>
<div>2) Establish a process to evaluate and respond to these
issues, and </div>
<div>3) Make periodic recommendations to MIT's senior officers
about courses of action relevant to these specific issues.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The primary time commitment involves several meetings per
year and periodic special projects.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is one of the Institute committees that is appointed by
the MIT president, and among those that has a postdoc
representative. It is a special opportunity to ensure that the
postdoc voice is heard in the larger MIT community. It is also a
great way to meet diverse faculty and staff across the
Institute, all whom are extremely motivated to make MIT a better
place to work. Dr. Sara Gosline, the current postdoc
representative, has greatly enjoyed doing this, and her term
concludes this month. Please feel free to contact her with any
questions at: <a href="mailto:sgosline@mit.edu">sgosline@mit.edu</a>.</div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div><b>If you are interested, please apply for consideration
through this link by noon on Monday, August 17: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://form.jotform.us/form/52225934339155">http://form.jotform.us/form/52225934339155</a><br>
</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Council will confirm the selection and request the
initiation of an appointment letter from the President's
Office. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
<div>Dana Bresee Keeth, Office of the VPR</div>
