Dear Postdoctoral Scholars,
I’m writing to let you know that Alexandria Yen, program director of postdoctoral career & professional development, has decided to leave MIT to take up a new opportunity as associate director for Launchpad, a new program for undergraduates at BU. We are excited for Alex as she pursues her next career step. At the same time, her work on behalf of MIT postdocs will be greatly missed. Her last day will be April 17.
In less than two years at MIT, Alex made important contributions to programs and resources in the Office of Career Advising and Professional Development (CAPD)<https://capd.mit.edu/channels/postdocs/>, including Plan Your Postdoc, the Faculty Job Search Series and the Industry Bound Series, among others. We will miss Alex’s energy, knowledge and passion for helping postdocs succeed.
We are exploring options for postdoc career advising during this interim period. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to email me (annskocz at mit.edu<mailto:annskocz at mit.edu>) or the postdoc office (postdocservices at mit.edu<mailto:postdocservices at mit.edu>).
Please join me in thanking Alex for her work at MIT and wishing her well in her new role.
Sincerely,
Ann
