Mentoring - step by step

German version


PALS-Mentoring - how does it work?

 

Application process for mentees

Application of doctoral candidates of the GGL will be possible again in Oktober 2019. You need to fill out an application form to apply as a mentee for PALS. We will then invite you to an interview to learn more about your motivations and objectives. Then we will decide if you are accepted to PALS mentoring.

Note: you should be at a stage in your doctoral research project when you can be confident that you will submit your thesis within the coming year but have not yet defended your thesis.

We will then try to match you with a mentor, who can support you in your goals based on his or her work experience and job profile.

Note: We will try to fullfil your expectations. However, in some cases the perfect matches cannot be found. Please be specific and realistic about your own expectations.
