> MentorNet: E-Mentoring Future Faculty in Science and Engineering -
> Just 1 -2 emails per month!
>
> MentorNet (www.MentorNet.net ), the E-Mentoring Network for
> Diversity in Engineering and Science, seeks non-tenured and tenured
> faculty as mentors in its Academic Career E-Mentoring Program. In
> this addition to MentorNet's award-winning E-Mentoring Programs,
> women and underrepresented minorities* pursuing faculty careers are
> matched with faculty members for 8-month mentoring relationships
> conducted via email. Proteges may be undergraduate students,
> graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, or untenured tenure-track
> faculty members.
>
> We currently have more than 100 proteges from diverse fields
> seeking matches in the program, particularly in:
> - Biological sciences
> - Physics
> - Computer sciences
> - Electrical/Electronics engineering
> - Biological/biomedical engineering, and many other fields
>
> Benefits of E-Mentoring with MentorNet:
> - Convenience - Do it at times that suit your schedule. Only about
> 20 minutes/week.
> - Support - Access to MentorNet's online mentoring materials to
> guide your experience.
> - Outreach - Opportunities to connect with students, post-docs, and
> early career faculty outside of your university.
> - Satisfaction - Know that you have helped someone else by sharing
> your experiences, advice and support on issues such as work/life
> balance, research, tenure, and university life. Furthermore,
> mentoring has been demonstrated to help mentors gain perspective
> and clarity about their own career paths.
>
> Please consider volunteering as a mentor and publicizing the
> program to your colleagues by passing on this message. Even if you
> choose not to be a mentor, spreading the word about MentorNet to
> other faculty members can help us to provide mentors for those
> proteges waiting to be matched!
