Welcome the website of the University of Edinburgh’s Central Area Postdoc Society (CAPS). We are a group representing the postdoctoral researchers and technical staff of the School of Biomedical Sciences located in the central campus area.
The primary aims of the society are to foster the career development of its members and provide a voice for our members regarding school- and university-level policy.
You will probably notice that we have re-designed and re-launched the CAPS website. To make the site more interactive, we have incorporated a number of comment areas where you are encouraged to leave any thoughts about news articles or more general feedback or suggestions about the society itself.
As part of an ongoing collaboration of research staff associations (RSAs) from a wide range of higher education institutions throughout Scotland, the third meeting of association representatives was held on the 20th of October at the University of Strathclyde. These meetings, supported by Vitae (www.vitae.ac.uk), aim to bring together newly formed and more established RSAs to discuss the need for and logistics of organising such associations.
