Postdoctoral Fellows

Postdoctoral Fellows at the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education

The Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto offers an outstanding research environment for postdoctoral fellows seeking to advance independent, high impact research careers. KPE is home to internationally recognized scholars, interdisciplinary research teams, and a strong culture of mentorship that supports postdoctoral fellows in developing ambitious research programs and preparing for leadership roles.

Postdoctoral fellows at KPE work closely with faculty supervisors while pursuing independent lines of inquiry that contribute to the faculty’s research priorities across sport, physical activity, health, and human performance. Many former postdoctoral fellows in the faculty have gone on to successful academic and non-academic careers, including faculty appointments, professional practice, policy, industry, and community-based research settings. Current postdoctoral fellows benefit from a collaborative research community and access to university wide funding opportunities, professional development resources, and interdisciplinary networks across the University of Toronto.
