EdiChem Postdoc Committee

Last week our postdocs went to @UoE_Firbush! We had a packed schedule of activities, research talks and boardgames. We were so grateful to have @EdinburghChem support this trip for the first time and hope this continues for postdocs in the years to come! 1/6🧵

Our updated sharepoint page is now live! Stay up to date with chemistry postdoc news as we welcome our 2025 committee members 🥳 uoe.sharepoint.com/sites/chem-pos…

Big thanks to @stugilfillan and @nichollebell8 for sharing their expertise with us!

We recently helped organise a whisky tasting event bringing together @EdinburghUni and @GeosciencesEd 🥃 We learned about the geology and chemistry behind the perfect dram, sampled some fantastic whiskys and met lots of new colleagues.

@ResearchersAtEd have launched Mentoring Circles, a small group mentoring programme for @EdinburghUni #postdocs to be matched with a mentor and receive mentoring support alongside the opportunity to connect with other postdocs. Apply by 29.11.24 edin.ac/3Nd8iT6

Great whisky tasting run by @nichollebell8 and Stuart, organised by @EdinburghChem and @GeosciencesEd postdoc societies!
