Dear MIT Postdoc community,
We are excited to open nominations for the MIT PDA Excellence in Postdoctoral Mentoring Award 2025!
The goal of the award is to honor and acknowledge principal investigators (PIs) for excellent postdoctoral scholar mentoring, and to recognize both the value of quality mentoring and its impact on the career path of postdoctoral scholars. It will highlight the unique opportunities and challenges of mentoring postdoctoral scholars, who are poised to become the next generation of academic and scientific leaders. This award is seen as an effective way to spread the culture of awareness of the critical role the faculty play in the academic/career development of postdoctoral scholars, and further, to recognize the importance of postdoctoral scholars to MIT’s mission.
To nominate your PI, please upload your nomination here where you outline why your PI should receive this award. Criteria and information on the nomination process are found here. Nominations will close on 04/18/2025 at 11:59 PM EST.
