We recognize that recent political developments might affect the Postdoc’s work and well-being at MIT.
As the PDA, we want to ensure that Postdoc’s concerns are heard and want to advocate for meaningful support.
We invite Postdocs to share their concerns and any challenges they face—whether related to visas, funding, workplace policies, or broader uncertainties.
For that please meet PDA officers and fellow postdocs on Thursday, Feb 13th 1-3pm in the Simons Center Conference room (46-6011) in building 46/BCS to share experiences and explore possible actions together.
Ian Waitz, MIT Vice President for Research, will join us for the first part of the forum and together with the OVPR we will work on addressing those concerns where possible.
No sign-up required, you may drop in and out at any time and the discussion will also be hybrid if you cannot make it in person.
We have the room reserved for an additional hour if postdocs wish to continue their conversation. To reach the conference room, use the BCS lobby entrance at the Vassar street cross walk, take the elevator to 6th floor, exit, turn left and walk down the short hallway.
