The Research, Innovation, and Health Science Office distributed a survey to on-campus postdoctoral fellows, aiming to understand the support and opportunities they consider significant during their tenure at the University of Toronto. The postdocs, in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, identified a number of possible directions for improving the postdoctoral experience, one of these involved enhancing access to training in undergraduate teaching. As a response, our office is providing mentorship teaching opportunities for our postdocs.
For available positions, please see the table below. To apply for a position, please submit an application. Please note, to be eligible for the position, you must be an active postdoc at the time of the lecture.
