You may want to check the U of T computer science homepage: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/DCS/index.html Not knowing which universities you attended in Ukraine and Germany, it is difficult to say whether or not any previous credits would transfer. However, as long as you can pay tuition, I wouldn't forsee a problem with applying. It does seem to me, however, that your fields of theoretical physics and theoretical chemistry may not be the most applicable to a westernized course of study in Computer Science. Instead, you may consider applying for an assistant or adjunct position with the physics department at University of Toronto. However, if you're dead-set on U of T, you can try one of the following phone numbers: Departmental Office: 416.978.6025 Graduate Program: 416.978.8762 (Assoc. Chair Graduate Coordinator, Richard Zemel) Office of the Chair: 416.978.2980 You will probably have to apply to the University of Toronto through the general applicant pool.

I can't speak specifically for U of T. At the University where I am it is not uncommon for computer science post-docs to not have a computer science degree. Istead they have a degree in biology, chemistry or physics and in these fields have heavily used computers for their research. There's no hard rules. It's up to the PI to decide what is appropriate. |
