Postdoctoral Research Community
The school has a vibrant postdoctoral research community in the School across all research themes.
We are committed to supporting the career development of our postdoctoral researchers. A Postdoctoral Advisor supports and advises research staff, meeting with them regularly, representing their interests at School committee meetings, and organising workshops and training. PDRAs are included in the personal development review process, focusing on their duties within projects and career progression. In addition, they have annual meetings with the Postdoctoral Advisor to discuss the development of their CVs and personal development targets such as fellowship applications. A PDRA committee meets regularly, with a PDRA representative on the School’s Research Committee and the University-wide Postdoctoral and Researcher Advisory Group.

Postdoctoral Development Centre (PDC)
A University-wide Postdoctoral Development Centre (PDC) has launched that will support the professional and career development of postdoctoral researchers across Queen's.
The aim of the PDC is to support postdocs and researchers to progress their career, in and out of academia, as well as ensure a positive experience at Queen’s. The PDC offers support around six main themes: information, development, career, policy, representation, and recognition.
