<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none;">If you haven’t already answered the 2026 MIT Quality of Life Survey, I encourage you to do so. The survey covers a number of issues important to postdocs such as workload, stress, wellness, mentoring
and departmental climate – factors that contribute to a fulfilling and productive experience at MIT. </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none;">The survey is voluntary and confidential. The results will be presented in aggregate in a way that protects the privacy of respondents. Postdoctoral Services will use
</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">your aggregated</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-transform: none;"> responses to guide our programs and priorities.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
