Former Postdocs
University alumni benefits
Postdocs who have been in post for a minimum of 300 consecutive days are eligible for alumni benefits when they leave the University. We encourage you to update your details on Employee Self Service before your term of employment ends to ensure you start to receive these benefits as soon as possible.
Some alumni benefits include:
- Journals and online resources
- Alumni book club
- Lifelong learning
- Special offers
- Alumni groups
- Alumni email

Once you are about to leave the University, you will be contacted directly by Development Alumni Relations. You will have the opportunity to opt-out of the scheme.
If you have any queries regarding registration to the alumni scheme or benefits, please contact contact@alumni.cam.ac.uk.
Postdoc alumni programme
In January 2026, the Postdoc Academy will be launching a unique postdoc alumni programme. Offering additional benefits, tailored to former postdocs, the programme aims to provide opportunities for former postdocs to re-engage with Cambridge and the current postdoc community.
