SKHS is now accepting applications from current students registered in the SKHS graduate program for Teaching Fellow positions for the 2023-2024 academic year.  The deadline to submit your application is 4:30 pm on Friday, April 14, 2023 to skhs.grad@queensu.ca.

Graduate students may apply for as many positions as they want although successful candidates will normally receive no more than the equivalent of a 3.0 unit course per term. Co-teaching applications are welcome, but must be submitted as one joint application to teach a course. In these cases, the cover letter must articulate how co-teaching responsibilities will be shared by the applicants and the teaching team will be evaluated as a whole. Applications are adjudicated by the SKHS Teaching Fellow Appointments Subcommittee.
