Become a mentor

We are looking for mentors!

Are you keen to share your personal experience as a scientist and to support female early career researchers? Please join ARIADNE as a mentor!

You may find detailed information on the mentoring, your role as a mentor and the matching process online in our mentoring guidelines.

Apply online!

If you want to support ARIADNEtechnat as a mentor, please contact the coordinator at ariadne-technat@fau.de and fill in the questionnaire.

Your information helps us to work on a proper matching with a potential mentee. Filling in the questionnaire does not imply any obligation to assume a mentoring.

Who can be a mentor?

Scientists at the Faculty of Sciences or the Faculty of Engineering at FAU or at an affiliated research institution with a focus on science or engineering:

  • Professors
  • Postdocs
  • PhD candidates pursuing a scientific career

As a mentor you will

  • accompany a high potential female early career researcher on transversal topics, not related to their research
  • motivate them to further qualify as a scientist
  • familiarize mentees with informal structure and rules of the game in academia
  • share your experience
  • support mentees with their challenges
  • broaden your network and help your mentee to develop theirs
  • gain a new perspective on academic life
