Association


The postdoctoral community at MIT consists primarily of Fellows and Associates. Additional designations may be Staff or Reseach Affiliate or Visiting Scientist. Regardless of title, the MIT PDA will serve those who self-identify as postdocs. The purpose of a postdoctoral appointment is to increase breadth and depth of research experiences and foster development as an independent researcher while contributing to the principal investigator’s research program.
