The CUNY Graduate Center’s Teaching and Learning Center invites applications for Teaching and Learning Center Fellowships for the 2025-2026 academic year. TLC Fellows support CUNY Graduate Center students who are teaching across CUNY by consulting with graduate instructors during office hours, developing workshops and Focused Inquiry Groups, producing content for the Center’s Teach@CUNY Handbook and blog (Visible Pedagogy), planning and facilitating the Teach@CUNY Institutes, organizing panel discussions and class visits, and contributing to a range of special projects.

This is a terrific opportunity to join a collaborative team of educators who are committed to enhancing teaching across the nation’s largest, urban, public university. It is also a unique chance to broaden and distinguish your skillset as you prepare to enter the job market.

TLC Fellows report to the director of the Teaching and Learning Center, and are expected to work both independently and in collaboration with other TLC staff members. Ideal candidates will be deeply engaged with teaching and learning at the City University of New York, and will be experienced college teachers familiar with current pedagogical conversations. Strong writing, digital, and presentation skills are required, as is current enrollment in a doctoral program at the Graduate Center. The fellowship is limited to doctoral students who will be entering years 2-7 of study at the Graduate Center. Fellows will be expected to be available to attend meetings in person at the Graduate Center throughout the academic year.

Compensation and Benefits
Compensation for the fellowship will be approximately $30,000 for the academic year. Fellows will be appointed to the Graduate Center payroll as Graduate Assistant Bs (GAB) at their own current rate and also receive a Provost’s Award paid through the Office of Financial Aid. The GAB title provides eligibility to purchase the low-cost NYSHIP health insurance as well as in-state tuition remission for fellows who are within their first 10 registered semesters of doctoral study.

Teaching and Learning Center Fellows will be required to work a total of 450 non-teaching hours during the academic year (two 15-week semesters). This position comes with the possibility of reappointment and additional compensation for summer work. Please note that students may not hold this Fellowship and a GTF concurrently.
