• Do you have an idea for professional development that you think would benefit the postdoc community in Cambridge?

• Can you design a programme or tool that you think will help your fellow postdocs to enhance their skills? Improve their wellbeing? Help them to be even more ready for their next career move?

• Do you have a creative way to broaden teaching, leadership, or collaboration opportunities to include more postdocs?

If you do, you could get seed funding for it and the possibility to develop it further…

The RD Pitch Competition is your chance to create and deliver postdoc support in Cambridge. The Competition enables you to utilise your creative talents and your expertise in the issues affecting postdocs. We’re not just looking for new training workshops or events – though we welcome great ideas for those too: the door is open for designing fresh ways of delivering RD, new resources or tools, innovative programmes or platforms for opportunities. There are many possible themes to consider: creativity and idea generation, research communication and writing, entrepreneurship and social impact, or career development within and beyond academia. It’s up to you what you consider important and what you think will make the biggest difference to the capabilities and potential of the postdoc community.

The information event is your chance to find out more about Researcher Development — not just what it currently is in Cambridge, but the creative ways it could be adapted, expanded, or renewed in order to make a big impact on the postdoc community. We will look at some case studies and innovative ideas, and run through the particulars of the competition. Staff from the Researcher Development Programme, Careers Service and the OPdA will be on hand to take questions and give you some pointers about your ideas. If you are thinking of submitting an expression of interest, or even if you’re not sure, you are warmly encouraged to attend.
