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
