Postdocs and the Office of the Vice President for Research
While primary responsibility for postdoctoral appointments lies in MIT’s departments, labs, centers, institutes and schools, the central oversight of postdoctoral affairs is housed in the Office of the Vice President for Research. Dana Bresee Keeth serves as project coordinator for postdocs on behalf of the office. The office works closely with the postdoc-led MIT Postdoctoral Association to provide resources, information, and professional development seminars, and sponsor social events. Your ideas, questions and involvement are encouraged. A newly formed Faculty Postdoctoral Advisory Committee (FPAC) includes the VPR, four other faculty members, and MIT Postdoctoral Association leadership. It serves to provide feedback to the PDA and to the VPR in matters pertaining to postdoc training and life at MIT. The MIT Postdoctoral Association (PDA) is a postdoc-led organization with the goal of providing support for over 1400 postdoctoral trainees in over 50 different MIT departments, laboratories, centers and programs. The PDA officers and committee chairs and any other interested postdocs meet monthly. 2012-13 Schedule of MIT Postdoctoral Association Meetings
