Subject: Institute Committees - Nominations open until Sept. 3



Dear Postdoctoral Scholars,

Send your nomination by Thursday, September 3 if you would like to be considered for an MIT Institute Committee!

Thirteen Institute Committees seek nominations from MIT-appointed postdocs (Postdoctoral Associates and Postdoctoral Fellows) for the 2026-2027 academic year. Service on an institute committee allows you to work with MIT faculty and staff on Institute priorities, and helps build your professional service experience.  And your voice as a postdoc provides an important perspective!

The following committees are taking postdoc nominations for the 2026-2027 academic year. Click on each committee name for a description of its work.
