Professional Development and Professionalization
The professional development page of the SGS Postdoc website highlights the range of professional development and professionalization options open to you. As a student, Jonathan completed, and speaks very highly of, the Graduate Centre for Academic Communication’s fantastic workshops on written and oral communication, the Teaching in Higher Education 500 course, and the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation’s workshops and supports. We look forward to a return of English Conversation Communities for Postdocs offered by the Centre for International Experience when public health guidelines allow.

As mentioned in Wednesday’s email – the University of Toronto is a decentralized place and you may also be able to access something locally. For instance, in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, postdocs can participate in Prospective Professors in Training and the OPTIONS program. Hospital-based postdoctoral fellows usually have access to professional development through their research office. UTM and UTSC offer local supports for postdocs on each campus – today, the UTM Senior Research Associates are offering a drop-in CV work session for postdoctoral fellows at UTM.
