Post-Doctoral Fellowship Opportunity

Applications are invited for a fulltime post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Biology at the University of Toronto Mississauga to study educational resilience and productive failure. Specifically, we are interested in how students can overcome challenges in learning, embrace failure, learn from failure, and bounce-back from failure. Studies have shown failure is crucial to learning, however how to fail well and bounce back from failure is not commonly embedded into course design.

The postdoctoral fellow will be in a unique position to contribute to research and capacity building in resiliency-focused programming across the curriculum at the University of Toronto Mississauga. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in all aspects of the research process and will have the opportunity to engage in applied pedagogical research using a range of methods and methodological frameworks. In addition, the fellow will be actively involved in knowledge mobilization activities, with opportunities to co-author publications, design pedagogical materials, and present research both at scholarly conferences and to key stakeholders in the university community.
