Post-doctoral Fellows
Postdoctoral Services and Supports
The University of Toronto Faculty of Music hosts postdoctoral researchers in all areas of specialization across Music Studies. Postdoctoral Fellows conduct an active program of research and creative practice resulting in the submission of proposals to research conferences, the submission of articles to academic journals, or participation in other scholarly projects. Fellows commonly teach in the Faculty of Music; deliver a colloquium to the faculty; and participate in other faculty activities.
The Research Office is here to help Postdoctoral students with:
- Student Research Project Design
- Seeding Research Projects (Internal Funds)
- Planning your Research Agenda and Grant Scaffolding (Tri-Agency)
- Access, Teaching and Learning Grants (Internal Funds)
- Creative Research Support (Arts Councils)
- Industry and exchange programs
- Intro to Foundation Funding
- Developing Research Infrastructure and Centres (with Advancement)
- Advancing large-scale and high-risk research (need support)
Prospective Postdoctoral Fellows
Postdoctoral fellows are valued members of the UofT community, making important contributions to our research and educational environment. Each year the Faculty of Music considers multiple requests for the support of applications to tri-council postdoctoral opportunities, including the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships and the SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships in the social sciences and humanities.
UofT Music has strong affiliations with many research units and programs across the University, including the JHI (the Jackman Humanities Institute), the Munk School of Global Affairs, the CMS (Centre for Medieval Studies), PIMS (Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies), Massey College's Book Heritage and Print Culture Collaborative Program, and OISE (Ontario Institute for Studies in Education). More recent links have developed with the Rotman School of Management, the Martin Prosperity Institute, the Mind Brain Behaviour Hive, the Faculty of Law, Centre for Innovation Law, the iSchool Faculty of Information, the McLuhan Culture and Technology Program, and through MaHRC with the Faculty of Medicine and the UHN (University Health Network), the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, CPIN (Collaborative Program in Neuroscience), and the Fraser Mustard Institute for Human Development.
Prospective candidates should first be in touch with a potential postdoctoral supervisor in the Faculty of Music. Application materials submitted by the internal deadline (typically in mid-August) are vetted by members of the Research Committee to determine the Faculty of Music’s capacity to support applications in advance of the external nomination deadlines. The School of Graduate Studies has many helpful resources for prospective candidates, including a resource hub and important information for new postdoctoral students at the University of Toronto.
Please contact Ely Lyonblum, PhD, Strategic Development Officer at music.research@utoronto.ca for details of the annual deadline and submission requirements at the Faculty of Music.
