Postdoc Association
The MRC WIMM Postdoc Association (WPA) was established in January 2013 in order to provide a unified body to represent the views and meet the needs of postdoctoral researchers working at the MRC WIMM. All postdocs are welcome to join, or simply contribute ideas.
The WPA committee meets on a bimonthly basis to discuss issues, put forward proposals, and develop action plans to support the postdoc community. We liaise closely with the MRC WIMM faculty members to draw on their expertise and we have representation on all Institute committees.
We also organise a diverse range of activities including:
- Career Seminars
- Social Events
- Academic Seminars, such as the “An evening with…” series, which showcases the life story of eminent Oxford academics
Membership of the WIMM Postdoc Association (WPA) is open to all postdoctoral researchers and staff scientists at the WIMM.

WPA COMMITTEE
The aim of the WPA and its associated committee is to:
- Facilitate exchange between members of the association outside their immediate research groups, with the wider WIMM community, and the Oxford ecosystem, to foster excellence of science conducted at the WIMM
- Enhance the experience of its membership by providing a forum for social, cultural, and intellectual activities
- Represent its constituency, and raise issues of importance to the WPA membership with the WIMM Postdoc and People, Culture & Inclusion Committees
