The Isaac Newton Trust is proud to be supporting Fellows from the following national and international programmes:

College Affiliation

Many postdocs value a formal attachment to one of Colleges at the University of Cambridge.  

All the colleges at Cambridge offer affiliation opportunities for postdoctoral fellows, providing additional academic and social networks beyond the host department. Please note that you do not need to have a College connection, but most researchers find it helpful to have a College where they can network with researchers, fellows, and students across the full spectrum of subjects, nationalities and levels of seniority, and maybe get involved in some teaching if the opportunity arises.

The Postdoc Academy lists many professional neworking opportunities on their website, including current unsalaried opportunities at Colleges. You can also may find others on the University’s jobs site and the Reporter.

The Postdoc Academy also discuss what different College affiliations are and what the application process is like in their 'Understanding College Affiliations at Cambridge' podcast:
