Postdoc Welcome Events
The Postdoc Academy provides welcome events specific to postdocs joining the University of Cambridge.
These sessions include presentations from the Postdoc Academy, PdOC, and the postdoc Careers Service, followed by networking.
You will be given information on how to navigate life as a researcher in Cambridge and then have the opportunity to network with other new postdocs and University services.
During the session, you will learn about:
- interacting with the Postdoc Academy
- attending professional development activities and accessing the Careers Service
- connecting to the wider postdoc community at Cambridge
- accessing resources available to postdocs as staff members.
You should attend the next available welcome event after your start date, or a later event if this is not possible.
