Subject: Applications now open: Paid inclusive mentoring opportunity for STEM faculty
Date: Apr 19, 2021

A joint Pima Community College (PCC) and University of Arizona team is looking for STEM faculty highly motivated to mentor Pima STEM students pre-transfer while at the same time earning supplemental compensation and gaining professional development on mentoring in an inclusive, asset-based manner.

The experience will involve 1:1 mentoring, as well as participation in a cross-institution community of practice, where you will receive ongoing support from peers as you develop your mentoring philosophy.

Details about the National Science Foundation grant supporting this work – Bridging Faculty and Student Cultures: Culturally Responsive Support for STEM Students Transferring Between Two- and Four-Year Hispanic Serving Institutions – can be found online, along with other relevant details and a brief online application.

Eligibility:

  • Research and teaching faculty (including instructors, lecturers, and postdocs) at the University of Arizona or Pima Community College 
  • Must be teaching or conducting research in STEM fields 
  • Preferred STEM fields for faculty: biological sciences, physical sciences, mathematical sciences, computer and information sciences, geosciences and related fields, and engineering. (Eligible student participants for this program must be pursuing a degree in one of these fields due to the restrictions of our S-STEM grant.)
