Hello, all!

I’m writing to invite you to apply to attend Rising Stars in EECS 2025<https://risingstars-eecs.mit.edu/>, which will be hosted by our department right here at MIT on Oct. 30-31, 2025. (There will be a welcome reception the evening before the workshop begins, on October 29th.)

Rising Stars in EECS is an intensive workshop aimed at women who are interested in pursuing academic careers in electrical engineering and computer science. This year’s event will bring participants together for two days of scientific interactions and discussions about navigating the early stages of careers in academia. Our program includes invited presentations on preparing for the academic search process, giving effective job talks, and developing and refining research and teaching statements. Panel discussions will focus on the first years of an academic career, covering topics such as forming and ramping up a research group, leadership, maintaining work-life balance, fundraising, and going through the promotion process.

Past Rising Stars attendees have gone on to secure faculty positions at top universities or research positions in leading industry labs. As attendees, you will have the opportunity to hear from some of these researchers about their experience looking for an academic position and their experience as junior faculty.

In addition, we hope that Rising Stars will give participants a chance to network with their peers, opening the door for ongoing collaboration and professional support for years to come.

We warmly encourage everyone to apply!

Best,

Leslie Kolodziejski
