Call for Mentors in Bioscience

Dear Member,

Trust you're doing well.

We are collaborating with Euraxess India and Naviclar on a virtual International Research Symposium in September 2025 ('Research Catalyst Global Symposium').

The purpose is to support young scientists in their research journey (PhD scholars and early Postdocs), and provide a platform to present their research and get feedback from international mentors (as many scholars don't get to present their work in international conferences or symposia).

Global mentors will also get the opportunity to engage with young scientists and inspire them, and may even find future PhD/postdoctoral candidates through our symposium. The main contribution of mentors will be to attend presentations and provide constructive feedback to guide the young scholars, in addition to participating in informal networking. The participating PhDs and postdocs will present their research, seek clarity on their current work, and network with international faculty.

We anticipate a global audience, primarily composed of PhD students and some postdoctoral fellows, and expect significant participation from India. Our mentors will likely be from Europe, the USA, and India.

Call for Mentors:

Mentors are faculty members/professors/scientists working in below-mentioned domains of bioscience. The coloured domains would be given preference while choosing mentors.

* Mechanisms of life (cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, and genetics)

* Disease biology (covering a wide range of human diseases with a focus on translational research)

* Chemical and Physical biology

* Ecology and evolution

* Computational and systems biology

* Bioengineering

* Agriculture and Plant Biology

Criteria:

- Mentors should be currently affiliated with a European University/R&D Institution/Lab and working independently for 5 or more years. (very young or new faculty members are not being considered)

- The country of origin can be any, but mentors should be currently working full-time independently as a faculty/scientist in European institutes/universities.

- Mentors could be Marie Curie alumni or a guide/supervisor to current/past MSCA fellows.

If you are interested in this unique Mentoring opportunity, please email your latest CV to: <india.chapter@mariecuriealumni.eu> by Saturday, 5th July 2025.

Thank you for your interest and support.

Best wishes,
