Doctoral Faculty Development Residency​

Advance Your Doctoral Supervisory Practice.

Strengthen the Future of Doctoral Education.

A Transformative 4-Day Training Experience

Designed for supervisors, research mentors, methodology instructors, and all faculty contributing to doctoral education.

This intensive residency brings together current and future doctoral faculty for a transformative experience focused on high-quality supervision, research mentorship, doctoral teaching, and scholarly leadership.

Doctoral supervision is one of the most influential—and most challenging—roles in academia. Doctoral Faculty are expected to guide students through complex research processes, foster critical thinking, provide robust feedback, and uphold academic integrity. Yet few receive formal training to do so. This residency fills that gap.
