Volunteer opportunities with the MIT PDA
Interested in contributing to the MIT postdoc community? Want free lunch? The PDA is looking for volunteers to help with our upcoming events and programs. Volunteering at events is a great way to meet new people, take a break from the lab, and get involved in activities that benefit the professional development and well-being of postdocs at MIT.
