Professional Development

The PFDC offers a suite of training courses designed to support your professional development from the day you start your postdoc until the day you move on. Whether you are just embarking on your first postdoc or you are an experienced postdoc thinking about your next step, we have a course that meets your specific needs, helping you to make the most of your current post and successfully plan your next step.

For all residential courses, accommodation expenses, including meals during the course, will be met by the Postdoc and Fellows Development Centre.
