Postdoc events sponsored by the Council

[Marilyn T. Smith]

The Postdoctoral Scholars Advisory Council is sponsoring the 2 events 
below that we think will be of interest to postdocs.  Please pass the 
word and plan to join us.  The Project Management workshop promises 
to be very interesting.

Postdoc Boot Camp - Tuesday, January 22, 2008, 1pm, 68-181

Whether you're new to MIT or have been here awhile, you're sure to 
learn something from this panel discussion with staff from the Office 
of the Provost, Controller's Office,  the Medical Department, the 
Housing Office and the Office of Sponsored Programs, and a member of 
the Postdoctoral Scholars Advisory Council.

We'll discuss the differences between an associate and a fellow, 
housing options, funding opportunities for postdocs (and beyond) and 
the new electronic proposal process, and learn about the Council's 
activities on behalf of the postdoc community.

Please join our panelists: Marilyn Smith, Office of the Provost, 
Brenda Minesinger, Dept. of Biology, Fred Crowley, Controller's 
Office, Lucy Walsh, Medical Dept., Linda Patton, Off-Campus Housing,
