Nominations open for Institute Committee membership

[Ann Skoczenski]

Are you looking for a way to expand your professional experience and contribute to the MIT community? Several Institute Committees are seeking member nominations from MIT-appointed postdocs (Postdoctoral Associates and Postdoctoral Fellows) for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Why serve on an Institute Committee? Committee participation is an excellent way for you to use your expertise and interests to connect with people beyond your research group. Your viewpoint as a postdoctoral scholar is important for the committees to carry out their respective missions.

The following committees are taking nominations at this time. Click on each committee name for a description of its work.
