Faculty Mentoring

Independent mentors have volunteered to offer support or advice to post docs and research associates outside of their labs on research and career objectives. Here, you can access to a list of faculty willing to serve as independent mentors, and find their contact information.

        • Individual faculty will decide on the level of advice to provide the postdoc, but ideas include:
        • Review of written work such as application packages/research & teaching statements/CVs
        • General discussion of career issues and goals
        • Feedback and practice discussing scientific interests outside of one’s own specialty
        • Facilitate contact with lab alums in industry/government/academia for further career information
        • Referral to other faculty mentors based on shared interests
