APPLICATIONS FOR METEOR POSTDOC POSITIONS ARE CLOSED AT THIS TIME.

MEnTorEd Opportunities in Research (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.

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)
