Applications for Postdoctoral Fellows

All applications will be considered but NEW students and PDFs will be given preference.  The definition of "new" is a candidate from another institution and not yet working in the lab of the supervisor, or a recent trainee that has joined the supervisor’s lab within the past 12 months.

The next application deadline is TBA.

Funding level of $30,000/year to a maximum of 2 years.  The top-up amount for the postdoctoral fellow is the responsibility of the supervisor.

Application Instructions for Postdoctoral fellows

Please bring one complete paper copy to
Rob Reedijk
room 904 of the Leslie Dan Pharmacy Building at the University of Toronto.
Questions can be directed to Rob at 416-978-0774 rob.reedijk@utoronto.ca.

The following are required:
1.            A 1-page project description of the project that includes one or several links to biological therapeutics.  The project can be basic science in nature but must still have a link to biological therapeutics.  The primary supervisor submitting the trainee application must be identified along with the secondary supervisor. Both the primary and secondary supervisors must be members of the program (please see Faculty for a list of faculty mentors). As there is a limit to the number of trainees per supervisor, the application will count only for the primary but not the secondary supervisor (i.e. someone listed as a secondary supervisor on one or more applications can also submit an application under their own name as the primary).  Also include a brief description of what the trainee will do in the secondary lab and the estimated length of time in the secondary lab.  The minimum total time in the secondary lab must be 1 month; there is no upper limit on the time spent in the secondary lab.  There is no need to identify the off-site industrial internship at the time of this deadline.
2.            the CV of the PDF.  Any format is acceptable but it should be
complete and clear.
3.            THREE letters of reference (one of these could be from the current
or proposed supervisor).

Please note that if accepted, the Trainee will be required to submit a progress report/questionaire each year on October 1. The forms will be available from the program.
