    In recognition of the importance of postdocs, the University established the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPdA) in 2013 to look after the interests of the community. OPdA is based at 16 Mill Lane (The Postdoc Centre), where you can come for information and advice.

    Postdocs Of Cambridge (PdOC) is the Cambridge University Society for postdoctoral research staff and Junior Research Fellows (JRFs). PdOC represents postdocs in career development, contract research conditions, college affiliation, and social and sporting issues. All Cambridge postdocs are welcome to join, and there is no membership fee.

It sets out clear standards that research staff can expect from the institution that employs them, as well as their responsibilities as researchers.
