The ASFS is happy to announce that it is extending the mentorship program to continue encouraging career support for colleagues. As with last year, colleagues may seek mentorship for a specific professional goal, such as a promotion application, job search or grant application, and mentees may include but are not limited to postgraduate and ECR candidates. If you are currently working with a mentor/mentee and would like to continue that relationship, you’re most welcome to continue. But this can also be an opportunity to create new relationships, to get input and ideas from other colleagues should you wish. You may also consider taking on a new role; if you’ve been acting as a mentor and would like to be a mentee (or vice versa), please let us know by submitting an EOI:
Please also ensure your ASFS membership is up to date.
As with last year, mentees will be paired with a suitable member of the Society able to advise on their goals, and each pair will decide how often and where to communicate (ex. skype, email) depending on their needs. This is an informal and collegial initiative designed to support colleagues at a range of stages in their academic careers.
