Dear postdocs!
The PDA wishes every MIT postdoc a Happy Postdoc Appreciation Week!
The PDA is an association of postdocs for postdocs. We know all about the joys and the troubles that postdocs typically go through. This is why the PDA is dedicated to creating a stronger postdoc community and enhancing the postdoc experience here at MIT.
We wish you all the best for this new academic year and encourage each postdoc to take advantage of the many opportunities that MIT already has to offer postdocs specifically.
