Trinity College Post Doctoral Society - President 2026/27
I currently serve as President of the Trinity College Postdoctoral Society, representing a diverse community of postdoctoral researchers from across the sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences.
As President, I coordinate the Society's activities, work closely with the committee to organise academic, social, and outreach events, and act as the primary point of contact between the Society, Trinity College, and the wider University community. The role involves supporting initiatives that strengthen the postdoctoral experience, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote an inclusive and welcoming environment for researchers at all career stages.
Below, you will find a selection of the events and initiatives delivered throughout the year, reflecting our commitment to building a vibrant, connected, and supportive postdoctoral community both within Trinity College and across the University of Cambridge.
Trinity College Postdoctoral Society - Family Events Officer 2025/26
During the academic year 2025/26 I served as the Family Officer for the Trinity College Postdoctoral Society for the 2025/26 academic year.
Below, you will find a selection of events that bring our community together and help the Society make a real impact on the vibrant academic (and non-academic) life of Cambridge.
These activities create more opportunities for the University's postdoc community to connect, share ideas, and engage across disciplines.
Have a look around, and feel free to share your thoughts! More events are coming soon...
