Applications are now open for CELT’s Teaching Fellows Program!

The Teaching Fellows Program celebrates and supports faculty at TMU committed to teaching excellence and transformative, evidence-informed pedagogy. Supported by a 3-year fellowship, Teaching Fellows lead a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research project and gain access to exclusive professional development opportunities to connect with other educational leaders, deepen their pedagogy, and enhance their educational leadership skills.

Fellows will:

• Participate in a Community of Practice focused on scholarly teaching and SoTL.

• Collaborate with other Fellows and CELT staff to co-create teaching and professional development resources.

• Develop their SoTL knowledge and skills through tailored meetings, workshops, and seminars.

• Receive a total of $11,000.00 CAD in research funding over the three-year fellowship to support their SoTL work, along with one course release (one semester) to be taken during the fellowship period.

Applying to the Fellowship

Tenure-track or tenured faculty are invited to apply for the three-year fellowship. The fourth cohort will include three fellows and run from January 1, 2026, to December 30, 2028. At least one of this cohort’s three fellowships will support a project focused on Teaching and Learning with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).

The application period will open on Monday, September 29, 2025 and close at 5 p.m. ET, Friday, October 31, 2025. Application materials include a SoTL research proposal, budget, curriculum vitae, and a letter of support from your dean.
