Postdoctoral Teaching Certificate

Postdoc Pathways Program

The CIRTL Postdoc Pathways Program is a  CIRTL@UArizona program that allows postdocs to earn a teaching certificate in two semesters. This program combines training in evidence-based teaching and an intensive, short-term co-teaching project with a faculty mentor (3-4 weeks) to practice these skills in a collaborative, supportive environment. All postdoctoral scholars at U of A are eligible to apply. The program runs from September to May each year.

Benefits to Postdocs:

  • Learn and apply strategies in active learning and evidence-based teaching
  • Develop practical skills in working with a syllabus, planning and delivering lessons, co-teaching with a faculty mentor, and interacting with students
  • Network with other postdocs on campus who are interested in teaching
  • Gain valuable communication skills
  • Work on your professional job materials
