Meet our Mentees

Acknowledging potential challenges and gaps that may be unique to PhD students from underrepresented minorities (URM), LGBTQIA++ community (broadly defined), first-generation college, or from nationalities outside of the US, the MENTORING arm of AMIE will undertake the following activities:

  • Deliver capability building workshops for mentees on high-impact topics
  • Navigating academia (e.g., applying for funding, refereeing experience)
  • Navigating the job market (e.g., presentation skills; transitioning to academia; think tank, NGOs, non-academia)
  • One-to-one long-term mentorship between rising professional and an established AMIE mentor
  • Peer-to-peer mentorship
  • Establish buddy-system among mentees
  • Host events to raise awareness around mental health and general well-being

Please get in touch with us to learn about ways in which you can partner! Individual researchers (both academic and non-academic) as well as research organizations and universities are welcome! Contact us here

News: Mentoring Coordinators for 2021-22 are Rob Jensen and Nishith Prakash
