Teaching Fellowship
Gain valuable teaching experience by sharing your knowledge with bioscience students.
The Office of Postdoctoral Education and Metropolitan Community College have partnered to offer postdocs scholars an opportunity to build valuable teaching experience.
The application process is very competitive, as only one or two postdocs are selected each year.
Upon completion, postdocs will receive a certificate and will have completed the major component of the Certificate in Teaching Skills.
Fellowship Details
Teaching: Weeks 1 - 4
The postdoc scholar will teach a total of eight classes. Classes are held on a Metro Campus twice a week in the evening from 6 - 10 p.m.
You will work closely with an experienced member of MCC faculty to develop lesson plans, build and deliver a lecture, and create an assessment.
Mentoring: Weeks 5 - 8
You will host an advanced MCC biosciences student in your laboratory and mentor them through hands-on research experiments. The MCC student will be in your laboratory twice a week for four hours at a time.
NOTE: For 2023, postdoctoral scholars will be on the South Metro Campus twice a week for evening classes from around March 20 to April 14. The MCC student will be in your laboratory starting April 24 and ending by May 19.
“I had a wonderful experience participating in the fellowship while I was a postdoc. This opportunity opened new doors and showed me a new future direction other than only science.”
