University of Toronto Postdoctoral Fellowships | Faculty of Arts & Science 2025-2026

[Foam123]

Hi, is there anyone applying to the Arts & Science postdoc fellowship at the University of Toronto?
I was wondering if anyone had already gotten an offer and could share how the fellowship works (how much time you're given to accept or decline, things like that). It seems that they started to roll out results in mid-March. I have heard nothing and thought they're gonna release all offers/rejections at the same time, but obviously it's not. Appreciate some info, and congrats if you got an offer!

Hi, I’m in a similar situation. I haven’t heard anything back yet, and my application status has been “Review Pending” for the past three months. I’m not sure whether this means my application has been rejected or if there’s still a chance.

I was wondering what your application status shows—does it say “Review Pending” or “In Review”? I’ve noticed that some applicants have “In Review,” while mine has remained “Review Pending” the entire time.

Mine is also "pending review," though I have no idea when it changed to that status. Maybe it's because there are different tracks?

Thanks for your reply! Are you sure that offers actually started going out in mid-March? I have heard that initial offers go to top-ranked candidates, and if some of them decline, the committee then moves down the ranked list and reaches out to others. All the best to you hope there some news soon.

Has anyone had any updates? I contacted the research office last week and they just said that they hoped to get all the results out by the end of April.

So no results have been rolled out till now? Did you contact at [email protected]. My status says review pending so I was thinking the results are out and my application has been declined.

Hi, unfortunately, no news here. Even heard nothing about rejection.

I emailed the arts and science research office again last week and they said that the results have not yet been released and that they hope to have an update in the next couple of weeks.
