The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on July 6, 13 & 14, 2024.

The Grad ISW is a 24-hour, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors.

Please note: You must attend all sessions and complete all independent work for the complete duration of the workshop, (i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop).

To apply for the waitlist for July 6, 13 & 14, 2024 ISW click here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-july-6-13-14-2024-preliminary-application-2/

Application opens on May 24 at 9 am and closes on July 3 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are applying for the WAITLIST only and this DOES NOT register you for the workshop. Graduate ISWs at UBC are in high demand. To create an equitable registration process all graduate students who apply for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has applied for more than one ISW waitlist, their name will appear more frequently when generating the participant list, giving them a higher chance of being selected for an ISW. If you are accepted into the workshop, you will be contacted by our office to confirm your registration.

We are looking for a graduate student who is excited and motivated to help us plan and promote IBioS community events and activities for graduate students outside of IBioS. The job will entail approximately 5 hours per week of commitment for the summer, and continuing into the winter terms, and will be paid at the level of a starting teaching assistantship. Attached is a flyer with the full details of the position. We would greatly appreciate it if you could circulate this flyer to the graduate students in Land and Food Systems!

The application is open to all UBC graduate students in good standing (Master’s or Ph.D.) researching biodiversity conservation, restoration, or management from any disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective (social or natural science, business, journalism, etc.).

The applicant will start working in June 2024 and continue into Winter Terms 1 and 2. Please talk to your supervisor before applying!

To apply, please send your application (CV and cover letter) to Dr. Conny Scheffler (Conny.Scheffler@ubc.ca) by Sunday, June 2nd, addressing the following questions:
