Postdoc orientation
Postdoctoral scholars are integral parts of MIT’s dynamic academic and research community. Our more than 500 postdocs pursue programs of research and training under the direction of an MIT faculty member.
The School of Science Postdoctoral Fellowship is a three-year cohort-based fellowship program, sponsored by the Dean of Science. This fellowship has a focus on innovation and cross disciplinary research, where fellows have the freedom and flexibility to work on what inspires their passion. Applications can be found on our Employment Opportunities page and more information about our current fellows can be found on our science community engagement site.
We support all postdocs through programs that we hope will highlight the next steps to take on their career paths. Because MIT is a sustaining member of the National Postdoctoral Association, your MIT affiliation allows you to join the NPA for free.
