At MIT, we launch talented postdocs to drive the future of engineering and transform the world.

The MIT School of Engineering prepares postdoctoral fellows to lead with purpose and create lasting impact.

Our distinguished postdoctoral programs—including the MIT-Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program and the MIT Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Engineering Excellence—offer more than exceptional research opportunities. These programs are thoughtfully designed to cultivate each fellow’s development as a researcher, collaborator, and leader.

Through pioneering research, customized workshops, leadership training, and robust networking opportunities, fellows gain the tools and confidence to shape the future. They also become part of a vibrant community of scholars and innovators united by a commitment to continual growth and collective achievement.

Whether expanding into new fields, deepening technical expertise, or building enduring professional relationships, postdocs at the MIT School of Engineering benefit from comprehensive support and resources that help them to thrive—on campus and throughout their careers.
