Getting Connected in Cambridge: Insights & Opportunities for Research Staff new Finished 14:00 - 17:00 16 Mill Lane, Office of Post-Doctoral Affairs, Eastwood Room


Researchers on fixed-term and open-ended contracts are one of the largest staff groups in the University, and many face distinctive challenges both in orientating themselves and in developing their careers. Whether a first-time postdoc or simply on your first contract at Cambridge, this event will provide invaluable information on how to navigate life as a researcher here, including a talk from Professor Chris Abell (Director of Postdoctoral Affairs).

The induction will begin with short presentations from the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPDA),Personal and Professional Development (PPD), the Careers Service and the Research Office. This won’t be an information overload, trawling through details of contracts, policies, benefits, and the like: instead, we will focus directly on advice from other researchers, identifying key themes from what your colleagues and peers say is important for you to know. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to explore an exhibition of the full range of support and career development opportunities that are available to you during your time here. This will include: the PdOC Society, Cambridge Enterprise, Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning and more

Getting the Most out of Conferences Finished 10:00 - 12:00 University Centre, Cormack Room


This workshop will examine how you can make the most of conferences as an environment to strategically network and build research connections. “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is an old cliché, but it’s particularly true in research where over (reportedly) 90% of jobs go to a candidate who is already known to the employer prior to the recruitment process.

The Superior Performing Researcher, for 3rd Year + Arts, Humanities and Social Science PhDs (previously Effective Researcher) Finished 09:15 - 17:00 16 Mill Lane, Office of Post-Doctoral Affairs, Eastwood Room


This intensive and challenging 1-day training course helps you develop your broader research skills against the researched skills-set of ‘superior performers’, through two ‘case study’ activities.

Why this course might make a difference?

While it is increasingly competitive to gain academic and non-academic jobs, the broader, vital, skills of arts, humanities and social science researchers are highly desirable.

This is a challenging opportunity to explore and develop these skills to help you:

  • complete your research now;
  • with your career post-PhD;
  • plan your personal-professional development to achieve your goals.
