Postdoc Academy

 

Postdocs have an opportunity to engage with Nigel Topping, the UN High Level Climate Champion for COP26, on a project in collaboration with the University to develop a study in response to an initiated Grace relating to fossil fuel industry ties.

Eight postdocs are required to participate in the focus group discussion.

Ideally from a discipline that would be affected by the Grace, participants will attend one virtual 1-hour meeting (recorded) before the end of March 2023.

During the meeting, Nigel would like to discuss the following questions:

  1. What is the University's mission when it comes to climate change?
  2. What is the University's current and future role in the transition?
  3. How would the transition impact the University in terms of funding, research, delivery, reputation, and academic freedom?

If you are a Cambridge postdoc and interested in participating, please complete this form by 12pm on Thursday 2 March

For any questions about the group, please contact Andrea Davila.
