CID and Early Career Researchers 

PhD students, Postdocs and young PIs are crucial for the University’s world-class research and a vital part of the University community. Cambridge Infectious Diseases aims to offer opportunities for their career development, from networking events to skills-development workshops.

In 2022, a small committee of Early Career Researchers was established within the CID Steering Committee, to reinforce the number of opportunities directed to the ECRs in the network. 

Our events aim to:

  • Provide informal speed networking/social networking opportunities among early career researchers who work in or are interested in infectious diseases research topics. 
  • Provide skills-focused workshops to promote integrative thinking and creative problem-solving approaches. 
  • Provide leadership seminars from researchers who have developed their careers in mixed discipline environments.

Our overarching goal is to provide opportunities to empower early career researchers to consider interdisciplinary approaches to their work, by fostering trust, creative thinking, curiosity, a willingness to debate openly and mutual respect and language across disciplines. Events are advertised through the mailing list and on the main events page.
