EngBio ECR Meet, Greet & Talks
EngBio ECRs (formerly EngBio Postdocs) is a initiative to help connect postdocs and postgrads across the university. We will be hosting regular events where you can meet and network with other postdocs from across university departments, as well as supporting early career researchers to pursue their own projects and initiatives.
Postdocs, research and support staff and graduate students are welcome from across the University and University-affiliated institutes (MRC-LMB, Babraham Institute etc.).
You can sign up to join the EngBio Postdoc community and receive notifications about events and opportunities using the Join Us Form.
