Speed mentoring gives postgraduate researchers (PGRs) the opportunity for a series of brief, focused conversations with early career researchers (ECRs) at Sussex, to gain insight and new perspectives on a career goal or challenge.

As part of SussexDocFest, we are bringing together ECRs* from across the University for a special speed mentoring session, to offer less experienced PGR colleagues their support and advice on various elements of career and professional development.

How does it work?

This event will be held online on Wednesday 5 June, 2pm-4pm. During the session, PGR mentees will rotate around four different ECR mentors, spending 15 minutes with each, to gain different perspectives on a personal professional goal they are seeking to achieve.

Places are limited and will be distributed between disiplines; please note that registering does not guarantee a place, but we will operate a waiting list if needed. If selected, you will be emailed an invitation with joining instructions in advance of the event. 

Registration

The registration is now open for ECRs as mentors until noon, on Monday 22 April. Register your interest in being a mentor now.

Visit the Interdisciplinary Speed Mentoring webpage for more information and to sign up as a mentee or mentor.

*ECR is defined as staff on a research-only contract at grades 6-8, broadly encompassing research assistants, postdoctoral researchers and research fellows.
