IAP Events for postdocs - January 12th

[Janet Fischer]

Announcing the second annual....

Postdoc BOOTCAMP or -
Life as a Postdoc at MIT or -
State of the Union for Postdocs!

Thursday, January 12th, 12-1:30 pm, MIT 68-181
Marilyn Smith, Office of the Provost, Special Projects Director
Janet Fischer, Office of the Provost, Special Assistant
Fred Crowley, Assistant Controller
Shawn Foley, Manager of Health and Welfare Benefits
Eileen O'Keefe, Manager for Finance, MIT Health Plans

Are you wondering what it means to be a postdoc at MIT?
Where do postdocs fit into the whole scheme of things here?
What benefits are you eligible for?  What is your status and how
does that impact your time here?

These questions and more will be addressed by a panel of speakers
focusing entirely on issues for postdocs.  If you've just come to
MIT, be sure to come and get the facts.  If you've been here a while, come by
anyway, you'll probably learn something new.

And later that same day....

R & D PUB NIGHT FOR POSTDOCS

Experiments working?  Great, come on down to celebrate.  Grant
got rejected?  Sorry, come on down to commiserate!  Regardless
of the occasion, come by the R and D pub (4th floor Stata Center)
to take a break and socialize with postdocs from around the
campus.  Meet that new collaborator, or that new squash buddy,
or just get a chance to network with a variety of interesting
people!

Come join us from 4:30-6 pm Thursday, January 12th at the R and D pub
(see http://web.mit.edu/dining/locations/retailoptions.html and click
on R and D (Pub) for directions).  We'll provide snacks and
food, but the drinks are all on you (or your new friends).

Cheers!
The Postdoc Advisory Council
