Since the summer of 2002, a collaborative effort has raised awareness on campus about the academic career path. Several offices and individuals have joined forces to pull together an award winning series of seminars designed to illuminate the academic life to MIT's graduate student and post-doc communities. In addition to the Provost's Office, our collaborators are:

careers office

Graduate Student Council

MIT Postdoc Advisory Council

In Summer 2009, we will offer the series again, with all new panelists.

Check back in April 2009 for new seminar dates.

Seminar 1: Why Choose an Academic Career?
Seminar 2: Nuts & Bolts of the Academic Job Search

This panel series was recognized with an achievement award at the 17th Annual Conference of the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students, held in St. Louis, in November 2002.

For more information on the series, please contact staff members Hannah Bernstein (Careers Office) hannahb@mit.edu or John Nonnamaker (Careers Office) nonnama@mit.edu.
