Postdoctoral Fellows Group
PDF representatives
The postdoctoral fellow representatives, or PDF reps in short, are a small group of postdocs that are responsible for organising a set of activities for the postdoc community, such as the monthly postdoc Drinks and Nibbles, the Postdoc Spring Event, the Postdoc Autumn Retreat and the Lunch with Leaders.
Moreover, the PDF reps sit in several committees, such as the PDF Development Committee, the Learning and Development Steering Group, Sex in Science, the Pay and Reward Working Group, the Pay Committee, Athena Swan, Pathway to Independence etc.
If you would like to join us, once you are at the Sanger Institute, please contact pdfreps@sanger.ac.uk
