Peer mentoring to bridge the gap between ‘Bytes and Bench’
Applications are now open for a UK-wide peer mentoring pilot for postdoctoral researchers working at the intersection of data science and biomedical research.
Run as part of the INTEGRATE project, the scheme connects postdocs from computational and non-computational backgrounds to build cross-disciplinary networks and confidence, and to help break down silos.
Why take part?
- Gain cross-disciplinary fluency – learn to speak both ‘lab’ and ‘data science’.
- Safe space for genuine curiosity – Ask the essential questions you’ve always wondered about with supportive expert peers who welcome your curiosity about the basics they take for granted.
- Build connections with those who could become your future collaborators.
- Take the time to reflect on where you want to take your career alongside peers who understand your pressures.
- Swap your survival tips for dealing with the ups and downs of researcher life.
- Gain experience from those in different institutes across the UK.
The fully online pilot runs for six months, with participants matched in small peer groups and supported by three cohort workshops.
