Introduction to 2026-27 CTL Fellowships for Grad Students

Information Session: Introduction to CTL Fellowships for Graduate Students (LTF, TOF, TAF, TAIF, CIRTL Fellowships) 

Are you looking for ways to extend your pedagogical development? Would you like to be more involved with the Center for Teaching and Learning? Join the CTL’s Graduate Student Programs and Services team to learn more about paid fellowship opportunities at the CTL that provide Columbia doctoral students (and in some cases, MFA students at SOA) with sustained professional development experience.

This information session will focus on the following 2026-27 academic year opportunities:

• Lead Teaching Fellowship (LTF)
• Teaching Observation Fellowship (TOF)
• Teaching Assessment Fellowship (TAF)
• Teaching With AI Fellowship (TAIF)
• CIRTL Fellowship
• Student Assistant positions through SOLER

CTL staff will be joined by current and past fellows in each of the above programs to share the expectations, development opportunities, and timelines for applying to each fellowship. At the end of the session, participants will be invited to ask questions in an interactive Q&A.

Note: Information about advanced CTL fellowships, including senior roles in each of the above fellowships and Teaching Consultant positions, will be discussed in a separate information session. Learn more and register for the overview of senior fellowship opportunities here.
