[Plsgs] FW: Please forward to postdocs and graduate students: Apply for Bayer Mentorship Program by February 3rd, 2023! info session 1/20/2023

[Armendariz, Amanda - (amandao)]

The Bayer Corporation is offering a Mentoring Program for early-stage scientists, with a focus on graduate students and postdocs. As in previous years, BIO5 is working with Bayer Marana, to ensure the reach of this program to the University of Arizona.



The objective of the program is for mentees to 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. Mentees are being expected to commit about 5 hours per month for the duration of one year from April 2023 to April 2024 to participate in career development and networking sessions hosted by Bayer, and meetings with their Bayer mentors. For the time being, it is being envisioned that a large portion of the interactions will be virtual.



Online applications are being accepted until Friday February 3rd 2023 at 5 PM through https://forms.office.com/e/Srk9KCbYwk.



Please see attached flyer for additional detail, incl. an info session coming up this Friday, January 20th, 2023 at noon MST.
