School mailing lists

Nearly every School email you get should have an extra signature on the end telling you why you got that particular mail, and what you can do about it if there's been a mistake. Of course, you'll have to talk to each other to find out which emails you didn't get. Their email should say in the signature what mailing list they were on to receive it.

Fixed lists:

Each of the following are prefixes followed by @glasgow.ac.uk

  • sbohvm-res-postgrad is a closed mailing list for postgraduate students at SBOHVM. You never need to subscribe to this list as you'll be added automatically if you are a member of sbohvm-res-masters or sbohvm-res-phd.
  • sbohvm-res-postdoc is a closed list for Postdocs and Fellows at SBOHVM. It is centrally managed, and if you think you ought to be on it you need to email sbohvm-res-postdoc-request@lists.cent.gla.ac.uk rather than trying to subscribe through sympa. 
  • sbohvm-res-pi is a closed mailing list for PIs at SBOHVM. You never need to subscribe to this list as you'll be added automatically if you are a member of sbohvm-res-core or sbohvm-res-fellow.
  • sbohvm-res-staff is a closed mailing list for staff at SBOHVM. You never need to subscribe to this list as you'll be added automatically if you are a member of sbohvm-res-postdoc, sbohvm-res-pi or sbohvm-res-tech-admin.

And for general School-wide emails:

  • sbohvm-research is all of the above - i.e. every full member of the School (not affiliates, associates and undergraduates)
  • sbohvm-res-announce all of the above plus external people who have signed up to receive important emails, including affiliates, etc.

For most internal procedural matters, please use sbohvm-research. By all means use sbohvm-res-announce or research and other important announcements that may interest (or would benefit from) our wider community of affiliates and other external subscribers. If the content is very local, social or conversational, please use sbohvm-social (see optional/joining lists below).

Reaching specific groups

The above listings have sub-listing addresses that allow specific groups to be contacted. These are as follow: 

  • Postgraduate students can be contacted on sbohvm-res-masters or sbohvm-res-phd.
    (NB Postgrads will also get any emails sent to sbohvm-res-postgrad, sbohvm-research and sbohvm-res-announce)
  • Fellows can be contacted on sbohvm-res-fellow.
    (NB Fellows will also get any emails sent to sbohvm-res-pi, sbohvm-res-postdoc, sbohvm-res-staff, sbohvm-research and sbohvm-res-announce)
  • Postdocs can be contacted on bahcm-postdoc.
    (NB Postdocs will also get any emails sent to sbohvm-res-staff, sbohvm-research and sbohvm-res-announce. If you are a postdoc but are eligible to act as a PI or want to get emails about things to do with grants, then ask to get moved to sbohvm-res-fellow instead—there's no strict rule on who is allowed in which, and you will still get emails that are sent to sbohvm-res-postdoc)
