Dear MIT postdocs,

In Spring 2020, a new course on leadership and professional strategies 
and skills will be offered at MIT in the School of Science (SoS). 
Currently, the SoS does not offer any such opportunity but it has been 
recognized that such training is vital for advancing graduate student 
and postdoc careers in academia and industry. A large variety of topics 
useful for all career choices will be covered throughout this two-part 
course, together with interactive components and discussions.

We, the instructors, are now seeking interested postdocs in all 
departments in the School of Science to co-facilitate this graduate 
student class. Postdocs from other Schools should contact us to discuss 
participation options. The goal is for postdocs to learn the material 
alongside the graduate students but to also co-facilitate the class with 
us. The postdoc cohort will receive mentoring and extra weekly training 
from us about the core concepts of each week and how to teach it. They 
will be asked to co-teach/lead certain portions of selected classes. A 
certificate of completion will be presented at the end of the semester. 
The course will meet Tuesday 9:30-11am and Thursday 5:30-7:30pm (with 
dinner). The mentoring session will be for 1h on Mondays.

Postdocs at any stage are welcome to apply. No prior experience teaching 
these subjects is required.

Interested postdocs should fill in this application form by December 31, 
2019. Brief (skype or in person) interviews with selected candidates 
will occur in early January. Final selections will be announced by 
January 15, 2020. The Spring semester starts on February 3, 2020.

More details about the course will be provided to postdocs upon application.

This course is supported by Michael Sipser, Dean of the SoS, Beatriz 
Cantada, Program Director, Institute Community and Equity Office, 
Timothy Jamison, Associate Provost and Ian Waitz, Vice-Chancellor for 
undergraduate and graduate education.
