Students & Postdocs

CMIT is committed to educating the next generation of researchers, physicians, industry leaders, technologists, and policy makers on the importance of the microbiome for human health.

CMIT currently administers two student fellowships. Learn more about our graduate student fellowships here.

Microbiome Club

The MIT Microbiome Club is our student-led community education and outreach arm. It was created to provide a space at MIT dedicated to the exploration of the vibrant field of microbiome studies, bringing together the students, researchers, clinicians, and members of the public currently working on or interested in this field. The Microbiome Club sponsors frequent seminars, dinners with faculty and industry professionals, and educational material for short courses at MIT and science outreach events at MIT and in the Cambridge community. The club is also involved with hosting larger CMIT events such as the annual MIT Microbiome Symposium. Through these activities and more, we aim to create a space for interested students to come together and plug into the network of research and outreach opportunities in this vibrant, new field. The MIT Microbiome Club is actively looking for interested members keen on helping shape the future of this club on campus.

If you are interested in getting involved in the Board or organizing club activities, email microbiome-exec@mit.edu. Or sign up to be added to the club mailing list.
