Dear MIT Postdocs,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://forms.gle/qiddfdve4eaUmkAu8" class="">The PDA's survey</a> on how postdocs are hired and recruited at MIT will be closing this coming Monday July 20th. Thank you to everyone that has already responded, but if you haven’t there
is still time. It takes only a minute or two, but will provide future postdocs with valuable information on what worked for all of you, and help us work to improve the process for them. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you,</div>
<div class="">Kyle </div>

<div class="">The Postdoc Association Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee is interested in learning how postdocs are recruited and hired across MIT so that we can better understand how to recruit a diverse population of postdocs.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong class="">Please
take the anonymous 2 minute survey </strong><a href="https://forms.gle/qiddfdve4eaUmkAu8" target="_blank" class=""><strong class="">here</strong></a><strong class="">.</strong></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The data from this survey will be compiled and analyzed by the PDA (particularly the DE&I Committee, led by co-chair Kyle Diederichsen) to investigate trends in hiring and recruiting. Aggregate data will only be shared outside the DE&I Committee
if there are enough responses such that the information is anonymous.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We intend for this information to be used:</div>
<div class=""> 1) To determine if the PDA should advocate for changes to the hiring process to increase postdoc diversity.</div>
<div class=""> 2) To help determine what metrics MIT should track as an institution for postdoc hiring and recruitment. </div>
<div class=""> 3) To help prospective postdocs understand what has worked for finding a position.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This survey is administered solely by the Postdoc Association and not the Institute. If you have questions about this survey, please email the Human Affairs co-chair Kyle Diederichsen,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:kylemd@mit.edu" target="_blank" class="">kylemd@mit.edu</a>. </div>
