Becoming a mentee will allow you to explore your needs with your mentor. You can focus on your personal development or perhaps on your professional growth. Whatever you decide to work on, it will be together with a mentor with a life science background like yours. They will challenge your perspectives, guide your decisions and let you tap into their experience and knowledge in an informal and safe environment.
The mentor will be assigned to you depending on your interests, your personality, and your career goals. Synapse will take into consideration your motivation to join the mentorship program and the expertise you are looking for in a mentor. We have already produced a list of words to choose from – which will be evident in the application form
You are eligible to enter the program if:
When applying we ask for your CV (maximum 2 pages) and in the application form we will ask for your motivation to join the mentorship program (max. 500 characters)
In the application form you also need to select 3 competences/personality traits that best describe yourself. In addition, you will need to select the level of expertise you are looking for in your mentor within 17 areas that are provided. We will use this information to find the best match for you.

Becoming a mentor will allow you to inspire the next generation of life science students, grow your professional network and gain valuable skills like coaching and leadership.
