Applications now open for the 2022 LEAPS postdoc cohort
In Spring 2022, we will again offer our course on leadership and professional strategies and skills to MIT graduate students as well as postdocs, supported by MIT's Department of Physics.
The MIT School of Science began to offer the LEAPS courses two years ago after recognizing 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 in these two half-semester courses, together with interactive components and discussions.
A course overview can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/physics/mitleaps
We, the instructors, are now seeking interested postdocs in all MIT departments to each help co-facilitate either of the two courses, or both combined! Postdocs at any stage are welcome to apply! No prior experience teaching these subjects is required.
Interested postdocs should fill in the application form by Dec 5, 2021. Brief zoom interviews with shortlisted candidates will occur soon thereafter. Final selection of ~10 postdocs will be announced by Dec 12, 2021. Note that the Spring semester already starts on Feb 1, 2022.
Application form: https://forms.gle/9ppD3ziEnhe61xvU8
The goal is for postdocs to learn the material alongside the regular participants but to also co-facilitate the classes with us. The 2022 LEAPS 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, and help with personal work assessments. The courses will meet Tuesday/Thursdays 9:30-11am EST in person. There will also be additional mentoring sessions.
