Join the MIT "Power Up My Postdoc" professional development program

[Simona Rosu]

Dear Postdocs,
We invite you to join the spring session of the MIT "Power Up My Postdoc" (PUMP) program. This 3-week program aims to help you reflect on and develop your professional goals to make the most of your postdoc position at MIT, as well as plan for your future beyond your postdoc.  You will also get a chance to meet other postdocs and form a supportive community. Each session will feature interactive discussion and exercises.

We also invite you to spread the word about the program to your peers, especially to new postdocs in your lab and department!

Please register for each session that you can attend using the links below. Light breakfast and coffee/tea will be provided.
