Mentor Program

The goal of the Division 7 Mentoring Program is to provide informal mentoring by mid-career or senior scholars to interested early-career individuals, typically from outside their working unit. Potential mentors are APA Division 7 members who are at the Associate Professor level or above (or the equivalent for mentors who are in applied fields, private industry, etc.). Potential mentees may be post-docs or Assistant Professors. Every effort will be made to match mentors and mentees on research or professional area, interests, and availability. The nature of this mentoring would be negotiated between the two individuals, but could include advice on job opportunities/hunting, setting up a laboratory, publishing, obtaining grants, the tenure process, negotiating work-career issues, and/or other career-related issues. Mentors and mentees might meet at a conference (e.g., APA, SRCD), or discuss issues by phone, Skype, email, or any other method that is convenient for them.
