In the pages listed below, we cover several areas that new postdocs typically run into once they first arrive and need to get set up and settled. There are
three general categories:-
•
Access, computers, and communication: How to sort out your swipe card and deal with computer related things
•
Info and office-related: Further reading for new postdocs and office stuff (mail etc.)
•
Travel and local area: About the local area and how to get around campus
There is other useful general information in the day-to-day section. If you’re a new postdoc and find there’s something you want to know that isn’t covered
on this website, please let us know!
