Postdoc participation on presidential committees

[Wiljeana Jackson Glover]

Dear MIT Postdocs,

There is an opportunity for postdoc to serve on some of MIT's Presidential Committees, and Professor Canizares, Vice President for Research and Associate Provost, will forward a final recommendation for each committee. The following will have one postdoc per group:
Committee on Assessment of Biohazards and Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight
Committee on the Use of Humans as Experimental Subjects (COUHES)
Committee on Radiation Protection
Committee on Toxic Chemicals

Here is the link to Presidential Committees at MIT: http://web.mit.edu/committees/president/. Further information is below.

The Presidential Committees are now in the process of being filled by the Office of the President, with recommendations going very soon from the Office of the VPR. If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please submit an email message, state your name and MIT position and which committee you are interested in, and attach your CV for review to MITPDA77 at gmail.com<mailto:MITPDA77 at gmail.com> by Wednesday, August 8th, 2012.
