The School of Science Infinite Expansion Awards recognize the outstanding contributions of postdoctoral researchers, instructors, and research and program scientists. These contributions can be in the form of direct support for your research program or they can be a service to the MIT community such as mentoring and advising junior colleagues, participating in MIT’s educational programs, or active engagement in the MIT Postdoctoral Association. Awardees are honored with a monetary prize of $1,000 and a celebratory lunch hosted by the school. Infinite Expansion Award nominations are now closed.
