Engineering Postdoctoral Opportunities
At the MIT School of Engineering, postdoctoral fellows advance discovery while developing the skills to lead with purpose. Through programs such as the MIT–Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program and the MIT Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Engineering Excellence, fellows engage in groundbreaking research and receive comprehensive professional development. They emerge as innovators equipped to shape the future of engineering and make a lasting impact on the world.
MIT–Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program
The MIT–Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program prepares visionary researchers to lead at the forefront of AI and life sciences. A collaboration between the MIT School of Engineering and Novo Nordisk, and part of the MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS), the program advances research that bridges engineering and medicine. Fellows gain the support, community, and resources to turn bold ideas into innovations that redefine what’s possible in health care.
MIT Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Engineering Excellence
The MIT Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Engineering Excellence supports outstanding early-career researchers whose ideas and expertise expand the frontiers of engineering. Fellows pursue pioneering work across fields such as clean energy, quantum systems, and advanced manufacturing – driving innovation that strengthens industries and benefits society. The cohort-based program fosters a community of scholars committed to discovery, collaboration, and lasting impact.
MIT Postdoctoral Services
Operated through MIT’s Vice President for Research, MIT Postdoctoral Services provides support and resources for current postdoctoral scholars, as well as information for those looking for a postdoctoral position at MIT.
