The Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM) is seeking supervisors for the 2024 T-CAIREM Summer Studentship Program.
Information for Supervisors
UofT faculty and researchers with UofT-affiliated institutes or hospitals who may have positions available for summer research students are invited to complete this form:

Once the faculty supervisor applications are completed, we'll post a PDF of potential supervisors with project descriptions and e-mail addresses to the T-CAIREM website. This list will be updated as more supervisors register the availability of summer student positions. Students and supervisors will then jointly submit full applications by December 15, 2023.
