[Steve Haraguchi]

Hi All,

We’ve been excited to see the interest in this year’s pilot of the IMPACT Program for postdocs. This is the final reminder that the deadline to apply is by the end of today, October 22.

If you have already applied, we will follow up by Monday with next steps.

Best,
Steve

In its pilot year, the goal of the MIT IMPACT Program<https://www.dropbox.com/s/8900okott9aau8y/IMPACT%20Post-Doc%20Program%2010_8_14_PILOT%20%282pg%29.pdf?dl=0> is for postdocs to develop skills (including technical, organizational, entrepreneurial and leadership) and professional networks that better prepare them for careers inside and outside of academia, through an experience that challenges them to explore and defend the real-world impact of their research. Impact may range from basic research that enables future experiments to later stage projects that may be translated through links with industry or the formation of entrepreneurial ventures. Embedded in a seminar and coaching approach, participants will leave with a clear pitch articulating the potential impact of their research, a ‘personal pitch’ for the applicability of their own skills and a personal professional development plan. The application deadline is October 22.

These opportunities complement the ongoing activities and support for postdocs provided by the Office of the Vice President for Research. We look forward to a great year!
