Postdoc representative sought for MIT's Council on Family and Work

[Dana Bresee Keeth]

Dear Postdocs,

We are writing to invite you to apply to be a postdoc representative on 
MIT's Council on Family and Work
(http://committees.mit.edu/family-and-work-council), which serves in an 
advisory and deliberative capacity concerning family and work-related 
issues as they impact MIT's faculty, staff, and students.

It is the Council's responsibility to:
1) Identify family and work-related issues,
2) Establish a process to evaluate and respond to these issues, and
3) Make periodic recommendations to MIT's senior officers about courses 
of action relevant to these specific issues.

The primary time commitment involves several meetings per year and 
periodic special projects.

This is one of the Institute committees that is appointed by the MIT 
president, and among those that has a postdoc representative. It is a 
special opportunity to ensure that the postdoc voice is heard in the 
larger MIT community. It is also a great way to meet diverse faculty and 
staff across the Institute, all whom are extremely motivated to make MIT 
a better place to work. Dr. Sara Gosline, the current postdoc 
representative, has greatly enjoyed doing this, and her term concludes 
this month. Please feel free to contact her with any questions at: 
sgosline at mit.edu <mailto:sgosline at mit.edu>.

*If you are interested, please apply for consideration through this link 
by noon on Monday, August 17:
http://form.jotform.us/form/52225934339155

The Council will confirm the selection and request the initiation of an 
appointment letter from the President's Office.

Regards,
Dana Bresee Keeth, Office of the VPR
Vincent Chan, President, MIT Postdoctoral Association
