As a volunteer with Neuromatch Academy, I am pleased to inform you that we have just opened applications for paid mentorship for the Impact Scholars program (link: https://impact-scholars.neuromatch.io/impact-scholars/intro.html#). This program allows our students to continue and expand on the research projects they initiated during the Academies over a period of six months. Throughout the program, students will receive professional development and mentorship, ultimately culminating in the production of an open-access micropublication.
We are looking for mentors who can commit to working approximately 10 hours a month (about 2 hours a week) from October to March. Below are the details of the requirements for mentors. You can find the application links in the mentors section of our website(link: https://impact-scholars.neuromatch.io/impact-scholars/mentors.html).
Bi-monthly Meetings with Scholars (3 hours/month)
Meet with scholars twice a month for approximately one hour each session.
Provide guidance, review progress, and help troubleshoot any issues.
Monthly Staff Update Meeting (0.5 hour/month)
Meet with program staff once a month for about 30 minutes to provide updates on the project group's progress, discuss challenges, and plan next steps.
Task Planning and Coordination (3 hours/month)
Plan and coordinate project tasks, ensuring they are broken down into manageable components with clear responsibilities for each scholar.
Review and provide feedback on scholars' work to keep them on track with deadlines.
Monitoring Communication Channels (3 hours/month)
Monitor Discord or other communication channels to provide additional support and answer questions as needed.
Be available for ad-hoc queries and offer guidance to ensure scholars are progressing smoothly.
