[FieldTrip] 2023-2024 OHBM Mentoring and Fellowship Program

[Joseph Chen]

Dear fellow neuroimagers,

Registration is now open for the eighth round of the OHBM Online
International Mentoring Program, organized by the OHBM Student and Postdoc
Special Interest Group (SP SIG). The program pairs mentees with more
experienced mentors in the OHBM community for (online) mentoring during the
2023-2024 academic year.

The goal of the program is to establish mentoring relationships across the
world. Our mentors can provide mentees with insight and support in topics
including career development, navigating academia, grant writing, and
work-life balance.

If you are interested in being a mentor and/or mentee, please fill out
this short
intake form <https://forms.gle/hqcALjvRCM9FbHxS9> and you will be contacted
with further details. Applications close on Monday 16th October, 2023
(23:59 Pacific Time).

Feel free to distribute this email to your networks. Based on feedback from
previous rounds, we have a lot of interest for mentors in industry roles.
Hence, we encourage scientists working in industry to apply as mentors for
our program.

Continuation of the OHBM SP SIG Fellowship Program

We are also continuing our OHBM Fellowship Program for 2023-2024 after our
successful pilot in 2022 - 2023. The aim of this Fellowship program is to
provide tailored support to people coming from underrepresented communities
based on - but not limited to - age, culture, ethnicity, gender identity or
expression, language, national origin, political beliefs, profession, race,
religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status in line with the OHBM
Code of Conduct
<https://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3846>. It
will include all the benefits of our Mentoring Program, plus additional
peer-mentoring sessions, online platform to interact with other Fellows,
highlighting of your profile on media platforms and/or blogs, and more. For
this second year, the OHBM Fellowship Program will take a select number of
Ph.D students contingent on available resources, please use the final
question of the regular intake form <https://forms.gle/hqcALjvRCM9FbHxS9>
to apply.
