[Grad-postdoc-assn] Gain mentoring experience by participating in SOARS this summer!

[Rebecca Haacker]

Hi all,

​Would you like to gain some experience in ​
mentoring students and guiding undergraduate research? If yes, then please
consider being part of the SOARS program this summer!



We are looking for people who are willing to spend some time each week,
from May 15-Jul 29, supporting an undergraduate student conducting research
at NCAR/ NOAA and CU. You can serve in many different capacities, depending
on your availability and preference:


*Research Mentor *The research mentor works with the protégé on a research
topic of mutual interest. On average, a project mentor spends about ten
hours per week with a protégé discussing the project, guiding research,
teaching scientific methods, and helping the protégé with their research
paper and presentation.


*Writing Mentor *A writing mentor offers one-on-one feedback to their
protégé on writing and presentations. The writing mentor supplements the
instruction protégés receive in their weekly writing workshop and spends
about two hours per week with the protégé.


*Computing Mentor *The computing mentor helps the protégé learn the
computing skills necessary to complete their project. Mentoring includes
providing one-on-one tutoring, recommending resources and helping debug or
troubleshoot code.


*Coach *Each first-year SOARS protégé is assigned a coach. The coach meets
approximately once a week to help their protégé develop solutions to
troubling situations by helping them define the problem, envision the way
they would like things to be, and develop and implement steps to get there.


SOARS/ASP will provide mentor training, and support you throughout the
summer. You would be part of a team of mentors who work with one student;
and often several scientists or engineers even share the role of the
research mentor.



It's a great way to get some hands-on experience in mentoring students
before you jump into a faculty position, or have to supervise staff in a
lab.
