Session Description

Are you planning to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship? Would you like to hear from some U of T postdoctoral fellows about their experiences? The Jackman Humanities Institute (JHI) invites you to a workshop that is designed to help you prepare competitive postdoctoral fellowship applications.  

This session will feature Taiwo Bello (Department of History), who holds a Faculty of Arts & Science postdoctoral fellowship, Daniel Jordan (Faculty of Music), who holds a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship, and Khanh Vo, the JHI-Critical Digital Humanities Institute postdoctoral fellow.
