The Ibn Khaldun Fellowship amplifies the impact of Saudi women postdocs through hands-on research with MIT faculty, and leadership and professional development opportunities at MIT.

“At MIT, I’ve realized that dreams don’t have an expiration date. I may not have been a student here, but my postdoctoral experience has been an amplified version of my dream. Here, I’ve engaged in exciting research, enriched my knowledge through classes, and found immense joy in mentoring and interacting MIT students.”
