3. CSMB Mentorship Program – Application deadline April 15, 2025
We are pleased to announce the new CSMB Early Career Researcher (ECR) Mentorship Program. This Program aims to connect ECRs from institutions across Canada with an established Canadian researcher mentor.
This ECR Mentorship Program will formally cover a 1-year period; we recognize that a successful mentoring relationship may extend beyond this but would not be part of the commitment for this Program. During the time of the CSMB ECR Mentorship Program, mentors and mentees will engage to allow the mentee to obtain:
- advice about funding applications and strategy
- advice and support for mentee to engage with strategic collaborations
- support for the mentee to engage with opportunities for invited seminars and/or other opportunities for increasing the mentee’s visibility
- general advice and support for mentee to engage with professional development opportunities, including journal review/editorial positions, conference organization, grant panel membership, outreach activities, etc
- advice on navigating interpersonal matters (within mentee’s team or within institution)
