A few things to keep in mind:
• The course is currently scheduled to run on Wednesdays, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon (not sure if it can be moved). First day of classes is Wednesday January 18. Last class is Wednesday April 12. There is no class on Wednesday February 22 (Study Week)
• The course is being taught in person
• I believe that there are 7 students in the class (all first year clinical PhD students).
• We will help you with preparations as much as possible. We can provide you with last year’s course outline, suggest recommended readings, etc.
• Note that shortlisted applicants will be interviewed (most likely over Zoom).
Applications should include a single PDF including the following: a letter of application and updated curriculum vitae (plus a “currency” report if you have taught in our department before). Though not required, I would also recommend including evidence of experience and quality with respect to teaching/training/supervision, and clinical experience relevant to the course.
I am happy to chat over email, phone, or Zoom if you have any questions.
Thanks!
