Postdoc Centre
The Postdoc Centre at Eddington is one of three unique spaces dedicated to postdocs in Cambridge.
A postdoc is a researcher who has completed their doctoral studies, and is continuing specialist research in a professional capacity in a fixed term or unestablished role.
Most are employed directly by the University, funded by research grants, or fellowships, while others are sponsored externally or by the collegiate system. At Cambridge, they conduct research into a variety of topics, including medicine, engineering, physics, the arts and social sciences.
The Postdoc Centre provides a space for postdocs to make professional connections, with a quiet working space that’s open 24/7, and spaces for events relating to postdocs’ research and professional development. It is also the primary location for the Postdoc Academy team, whose work enables postdocs to reach their full potential through four pillars of activity; information, community, advocacy, and professional development.
