We are excited to announce a new CNS mentorship program.
The purpose: For junior researchers, this program offers an opportunity to expand your mentoring network beyond a single advisor and seek guidance on various topics. For faculty and senior researchers, this is a chance to support the next generation of cognitive neuroscientists, contribute to a more inclusive and supportive CNS community, and engage in mentoring that is structured, time-limited, and flexible.
How the program works:
- Participation is open to all career stages
- You may sign up as a mentor, mentee, or both
- Mentoring will take place in 6-month “seasons”
- Participants will meet as often as they choose
- At the end of each season, you may opt to continue, change matches, or step away
CNS will facilitate mentor-mentee matching based on your selected interests and topics. The first mentoring season will launch in April 2026, and participants will receive support guides and suggested conversation resources to help structure meetings.
Please complete a short interest form if you’re interested in being a mentor or a mentee no later than April 1, 2026
Whether you are seeking guidance, offering mentorship, or both, we encourage you to be part of this community-building effort. Thank you for helping strengthen mentoring within CNS!
