[Logprofs] MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics Looking for Post-Docs and Researchers for the MicroMasters Credential in Supply Chain Management

[Chris Caplice]

Hello Everyone,

It has been 14 months since MIT President Rafael Reif’s announcement of the launch of the first MITx MicroMasters credential in Supply Chain Management.  Since then we have run four additional courses reaching over 150,000 unique learners from 190 different countries and awarding more than 15,000 certificates.  There are now 20 different MicroMasters credentials being offered in various disciplines from more than a dozen universities.  As the first MicroMasters credential, we are still leading the way in the development of new ways to teach, assess, and reach hundreds of thousands of potential supply chain professionals across the globe.  The MITx MicroMasters credential in Supply Chain Management <http://scm.mit.edu/micromasters> consists of five online courses with a comprehensive proctored exam.  We expect the first batch of approximately 2,000 MicroMasters students to earn their credential in Spring 2017.  These credential holders will also have the opportunity of applying those credits to earn a Masters Degree at MIT through the blended Supply Chain Management program.

As we continue to grow we are looking for both post-doctoral Fellows and Researchers to continue to develop, deliver, and improve these online (and in-residence) educational offerings to achieve our mission of educating the world for free.  It is important to note that all of the material in these courses is available to students at no cost - only the assessment and credentializing requires a modest fee.  So, if you want to reach a truly global audience and influence the next generation of supply chain professionals - this is the place to be.

We are looking for qualified, curious, and passionate post-docs and researchers to add to our MicroMasters team.  In addition to working on the MicroMasters courses, you will be expected conduct and publish research as well as interact with our 50+ corporate partners.   To apply for these positions, please follow these links for Post-Doctoral Fellowship<https://careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/client_mit/external/jobDetails.do?functionName=getJobDetail&jobPostId=8148&localeCode=en-us> and the CTL Research Associate<https://careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/client_mit/external/jobDetails.do?functionName=getJobDetail&jobPostId=5967&localeCode=en-us> positions.

Review of applicants will begin immediately.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.  I hope you can join us in our mission of democratizing education!

Best,

Chris
