Who are interested in advising, supporting and motivating young chemists in their transition to professional life. You should have at least 3 to 5 years of professional experience. Furthermore, you should have the opportunity to attend regular meetings with the assigned mentee during the ongoing programme (duration: 12 months). The form and frequency of these meetings will be agreed individually.
In addition to regular meetings, other forms of support can also be chosen:
Please note: The wishes and expectations of the mentee applicants are the starting point for the matching process. We create a pool of potential mentors from the mentor applications. We then try to find a suitable mentor from the pool for the respective mentee (see also Matching - who to whom). This means that not every mentoring or mentor can also be assigned a mentee. Not being considered is therefore expressly not a judgement of professional or personal qualifications.
The individual needs of the mentees determine the topics of the collaboration. On this basis, the tandems conclude an agreement at the beginning of the collaboration that sets out the content and objectives of the mentoring year together. The form and regularity of the respective meetings in addition to the framework programme are also discussed and recorded at the beginning.
At the end of the cooperation, the tandems hold a final discussion; mentees also prepare a short report on their mentoring year.
