Postdocs are more advanced in their career and they demonstrate more leadership and collaboration. I find that they are more passionate and committed towards their work. Postdoctoral scholars also show ambiguities as some are stuck between pursuing the academic
track or industry, while others still haven’t identified which path they want to follow. Many have families and life value issues. In addition, MIT postdocs are more international and universal than graduate students with approximately 2/3’s being non-US citizens.
Postdoctoral scholars at MIT have a real passion to solve complex problems, they are driven and committed. They really inspire me. It is because of MIT postdocs that I remain motivated to continue in this role.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
