Institute Committees - Self-nominations open now!

[Ann Skoczenski]

Dear Postdoctoral Scholars,

Are you looking for a way to expand your professional experience and contribute to the MIT community? Each year, several Institute Committees seek nominations from MIT-appointed postdocs (Postdoctoral Associates and Postdoctoral Fellows).

Why serve on an Institute Committee? Committee participation is an excellent way build professional skills and 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 for the 2024-2025 academic year. Click on each committee name for a description of its work. Note: please contact Ann Skoczenski<mailto:annskocz at mit.edu> with questions about any committees.
