Work Shadowing for Postdocs: Explore Careers Beyond Academia
Thinking about your next step after academia?
Cambridge Careers Service piloted a new Work Shadowing Scheme in 2025/2026, funded by the Enhancing Research Culture Fund. The aim was to help postdoctoral researchers explore opportunities beyond academia.
Whilst this pilot has now come to an end, this guide has been created to help researchers find experiential learning opportunities to support their career planning.
