Frequently Asked Questions

Events

  • A registration link will be provided with each event. This can be found through the events page or calendar. The registration form is generally either a Google Form or Zoom form. For events with limited capacity, successful applicants will be provided the registration link via email.

  • For most of our events, we do not have a waitlist. We highly encourage trainees to register at their earliest convenience, as we cannot accommodate those who missed the deadline. Please follow us on social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter) and subscribe to our mailing list to stay updated!

  • For events that do not require applications, you should receive a confirmation email within a few minutes of online event registration. If you did not receive an email, registration may not have been successful. Please contact us at it@lscds.org. Please allow us 24 hours to respond.

External Trainees

  • Our programs and events prioritize current graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research scientists affiliated with the University of Toronto. However, events that are open to all members include career seminar series and career day/LSCE.

  • We are glad you’d like to get involved! Our yearly recruitment occurs in July. Keep an eye on our website and watch out for email announcements around that time! If you have an idea that’ll make a great impact on our attendees’ professional development, feel free to email us - we love to hear new ideas and initiatives!
