Current Mentee Looking for a Mentor:

SLAS and One Nucleus Collaborate to Bring Next Level Mentor Experience: Online or In Person Opportunities We would like to invite you to participate in the SLAS Mentor Match program. SLAS is committed to transforming life sciences through research. We are an international professional society of academic, industry and government researchers as well as developers and providers of laboratory automation tools. The SLAS mentor program was developed to encourage experienced professionals (mentors) in our diverse community to pass on their knowledge and experience to young professionals (mentees). Pairs will be connected online via the Mentor Match portal and are matched by industry, career stage and interests. Once connected, pairs can meet virtually or in person at SLAS2022 International Conference.

Here’s how it works: 1.

Go to www.slas.org and use this link for a complimentary 6-month

membership with SLAS. This code is good for membership benefits including

the reduced member rate to attend SLAS2022!

2.

Fill out a profile on Mentor Match a.

BOTH mentors AND mentees need to complete the survey. b.

Please complete your profile by December 15, 2021 if you are planning to attend

SLAS2022 and want to meet in person. c.

Please note that profiles can be completed at any point during the year, so you

can still participate in the online Mentor Match program if you do not plan to attend SLAS2022 in person.

3.

Accept the mentor or mentee you’re paired with, or request a change, if desired.

SLAS has developed Mentor Resources for both Mentors and Mentees to help pairs get the conversation going during their meetings. This online resource includes talking points, mentor request template, sample meeting agenda and how to end the relationship. Mentoring meetings can cover any topic the pairs like, but suggestions include technical skills, interpersonal skills, career path, and resumes. Mentoring teams are also encouraged to set goals during their first session to provide a roadmap for the year.

The mentoring program is just one of the many benefits of being a SLAS member and presents a great opportunity for our members to connect with and learn from one another.

Feedback has been positive over the past few years and we are passionate about continuing to make this program successful. So, if you’re interested in participating, please create a profile (link above) and we’ll get you paired up with a mentor or mentee.

Questions regarding the mentoring program can be directed to: SLAS Membership Coordinator: Suanne Determan at sdeterman@slas.org Thank you for your participation. We’re looking forward to another great year!

March 2022 • Graduates that completed their undergraduate degree at DMU in 2021 are eligible to apply.

• DMU graduates will be looking for employment so they hope that if you are able, you

would consider offering longer term employment after the internship.

• Recruitment is undertaken slightly different from a regular recruitment process, or

from Frontrunners, they will match your proposal to a suitable candidate and send

over their details for you to contact them and assess their suitability for the role.

The application form Please use this link to access the proposal form - https://mygateway.dmu.ac.uk/form.aspx?id=2408740 We hope that you consider taking part in the scheme to benefit from the skills of DMU graduates.

Genesis Student Bursary Enhancing Industry and Career Insights for Students - more information Genesis 2021 will assemble senior executives and decision-makers from across the Life Science, Healthcare and Technology field to present, discuss and demonstrate their collective insight and thought leadership for the sector. Check out the Programme.

A clear theme that emerged at the Building Life Science Adventures conference in March was the value and need of enhancing the student-to-industry interface, where possible.

The Genesis Student Bursary enables registered company delegates attending the conference to nominate a student to receive a free digital delegate pass to attend the event.

Application Process: Applicants should email the details of the student (name/institution/course/email address) and details of the industry buddy (name/company/email address) to jasmin@onenucleus.com. If the Industry Buddy is already registered, the bursary will be approved and the student registered free of charge.

Not paired yet?

If the Industry Buddy is not yet registered, we will be more than happy to assist them in registering, subsequently approving the bursary. If you would like to be an Industry Buddy/Student participant in the above scheme, but do not have a connection yet, we will be happy to assist in trying to suggest suitable matches.

Deadline: As with all bursaries, there is a finite capacity. We are content to maximise that capacity rather than place a timing deadline right now. Bursaries will be approved on a first come, first served basis up to that capacity.
