Dear colleague,

Please share this opportunity within your organization:

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM OPPORTUNITY AT MIT’S COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LAB (CSAIL)
The application priority date is January 15, 2024

We at MIT CSAIL are excited to announce our fourth annual Mentored Opportunity in Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (METEOR).

METEOR is a postdoctoral fellowship program sponsored by MIT CSAIL to support exceptional researchers in computer science and artificial intelligence and to broaden participation in the field. Fellows conduct cutting-edge research as part of a vibrant community and are hosted by research groups with synergistic scientific interests.

The goal of METEOR is to enable outstanding individuals to do research in the lab and prepare for careers in academia or industry. The program also features in-depth opportunities for mentorship from researchers in both CSAIL and industry. Postdoctoral researchers selected are awarded a one-year funded appointment (renewable for a second year). This is a multi-year program, which is hoped to grow and broaden beyond CSAIL.

Participants have the opportunity to attend seminars and receive training on the application process for academic and industrial careers. They participate in group activities with their cohort and the larger lab. There are multiple fellowships available at this time, and postdoctoral fellows are paired with CSAIL PI mentors.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents (green card holders) or DACA recipients and meet one or more of the following criteria:

1. Being of a gender or orientation identity historically underrepresented in computer science and artificial intelligence, including women, trans of any gender, or non-binary.

2. Participating in a fellowship or academic support program vetted by MIT (CSAIL will verify an applicant's status while pursuing a doctoral degree at a U.S. institution).

3. Being a first-generation college student who was the first in their family to graduate from a four-year college or university.

4. Having experiences overcoming significant challenges in their path toward graduate school. Examples include but are not limited to:

  *   Managing a disability
  *   Veteran status
  *   Single parent
  *   Holding DACA status
  *   Financial hardship as a result of family economic circumstances

The METEOR Program encourages applicants from backgrounds underrepresented in science and engineering, including applicants who identify as African American/Black; Hispanic/Latinx; Native American or Alaska Native; and Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders.
All applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will be considered equitably, regardless of race or ethnicity.

The application priority date is January 15, 2024. For more details about this program, eligibility, and the application process, please visit the METEOR program website<https://www.csail.mit.edu/meteor>.

Sincerely,

Prof. Daniela Rus
