The ORT is focused on timely and rapid communications, sharing helpful content including career development workshops, research training opportunities within and outside of UHN, and trainee, postdoctoral researcher and alumni spotlights. The ORT shares this content with the UHN community and other research communities through weekly email updates and on social media (Twitter and LinkedIn). View past ORT Updates below!

Postdocs supporting Postdocs at UHN!
The UHN Postdoc Association (UHNPA) is run by a group of current UHN postdoctoral researchers advocating on behalf of all UHN postdocs. The UHNPA’s goal is to create a more interactive and inclusive postdoc community, and help its members benefit and succeed during their training at UHN.

A podcast exploring the experiences of UHN Research Trainees and Postdocs!
The Seeds of Science podcast provides a platform for UHN graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to tell their stories and to connect and learn from each other. Each episode spotlights a single individual at different stages of their training – whether Masters or PhD candidates, or postdoctoral researchers. Learn about their exciting research, their unique goals for the future, and what they enjoy doing outside of their research. The trainees and postdoctoral researchers also offer their advice to junior trainees and undergraduate students who are considering a research career.
Learn more and listen to the podcast here.
UHN trainees and postdocs accomplish amazing things every day! The ORT loves celebrating trainee and postdoc accomplishments in our weekly update emails and on social media. This includes awards, fellowships, published papers, graduations, career transitions and more.
