Spotlight Seminars
These are not timetabled in a regular slot as they relate to the recruitment of individuals who are interested in making Genetics their research home, or for providing a showcase for external junior scientists who are keen to visit and share their work with us. We invite applications from individuals who are keen to develop a research programme supported by an independent research fellowship in the Department of Genetics and particularly welcome applications from women and minorities.
Please email hodsec@gen.cam.ac.uk with your CV and statement of research interests if you are interested in joining us or if would like to visit and give a Spotlight Seminar.
Informal Seminars
These talks are arranged on an ad-hoc basis. Please contact Caroline Newnham if you would like to host an informal seminar.
Cambridge Epigenetics Club
Internal Seminar Series
