About us

At Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs, we support the full journey of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars — from recruitment to graduation and beyond.

Our team is committed to ensuring a rich, supportive, and engaging academic experience. We do more than manage program logistics. We help build a community where students and scholars can thrive professionally, academically, and personally.

What we do

  • Academic & career development
    We provide guidance and programming that prepares students and postdocs for diverse career paths, both within and beyond academia. Our workshops, including career pathways, mentorship training, and professional development, are designed to connect research with real-world impact.

  • Wellness & support
    We’re here when challenges arise. From wellness resources to informal conflict resolution and advocacy, we offer support when issues go beyond the classroom or lab.

  • Funding & awards guidance
    As liaisons between Schulich and the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (SGPS), we keep our community informed on scholarships, awards, and funding opportunities to help students plan and succeed.

  • National engagement
    We represent Schulich on key national platforms, including our active role in the International Congress on Academic Medicine (ICAM), where we help shape the future of graduate education in medical schools across Canada.
