We are currently inviting UK and Ireland-based, and MA, PhD and Early Career Academics who self-identify as a Person of Colour to or from other under-represented backgrounds participate in this programme.
We recommend that mentors and mentees meet for three 40–45-minute meetings over the course of a calendar year.
The scheme will run for a calendar year (January -December 2025).
Yes, meetings can take place or line or in-person.
No, the mentor cannot give you feedback about PhD work but can, at their discretion, offer career advice.
You can talk about anything from confidence building to career related-topics. Your mentor is there to support you.
The committee will match you to a suitable mentor according to your application requirements.
The summary sheet is optional and can be used before the session/s to help you and your mentor get the most out of them.
Email us at mentoring.srs.emsoc@gmail.com and we will work with you to resolve the issue.
The scheme is reviewed on an annual basis, with the intention and hope of it will continue in the future.
