Transitioning into the professional arena from a doctoral program or a postdoc can be difficult. The AGU College of Fellows Mentoring Network is an initiative of the College of Fellows that goes beyond traditional mentoring by creating groups, or small networks, that include senior scientist mentors and peer mentors, which meet virtually once per month over the course of a year. Each network is composed of two senior scientists and six early career scientists. The network helps broaden opportunities and limit the obstacles for early career scientists just starting out professionally in the Earth and space sciences. This program supports mentoring for early career PhDs in their first/early position(s) following completion of their PhDs. All mentees should be within 10 years of the completion of their PhDs. Mentors share their experiences and support burgeoning early career scientists and mentees are empowered by a network of peers and mentors. See below for how to apply.
