Societies in the College specifically for post-docs. The College has several post-doc societies. These are created and run by post-docs for post-docs, but also welcome other interested researchers. Joining your local society is a great way to get to know your community through social interactions, information sharing and regular wide-ranging career and training events. These societies often host cross-campus events, so joining a society will allow you to meet and interact with post-docs across the wider College community. There are currently four active post-doc societies in the College: BioQuarter PostDoc Society (BQPS) BQPDS represents post-docs in the Edinburgh Bioquarter (Little France campus).
