[Agvisors] Please share with postdocs and graduate students: Apply for Bayer Mentorship Program 2025 by February 2nd, 2025!

[Hilgert, Uwe K K - (hilgert)]

Dear Colleague,

The Bayer Corporation is running a Mentoring Program for early-stage scientists, with a focus on graduate students and postdocs.

Selected mentees will develop a first-hand insight into the workings of life science enterprises with the goal to foster the career transition of early scientists from academia to industry. Accordingly, this program does not only target scientists in the life sciences but in any area of STEM expertise, including agriculture, medicine, pharmacy, health sciences, engineering, computer science, and data science.

Participants in the Bayer University Mentorship Program will be paired 1-on-1 with Bayer employees which, depending on mentee's interest, may be located at Bayer Marana or any Bayer location/facility (see the attached Program Overview). Mentees are being expected to commit about 5 hours per month for the duration of one year from April 2025 to April 2026 to participate in career development and networking sessions hosted by Bayer, and meetings with their Bayer mentors. As in years past, it is being envisioned that a large portion of the interactions will be virtual.

Online applications are being accepted until the end of Sunday February 2nd, 2025 through https://bit.ly/B4U2025AZ or the link in the attached flyer. Completed applications will also require sending a resume/C.V. by email to University of Arizona Program Liaison Uwe Hilgert at hilgert at bio5.org<mailto:hilgert at bio5.org>.

Please see attached flyer for additional detail, incl. an info session on Monday, January 27th, 2025 at 1 pm MST.
