Dear EENPS members

We are pleased to announce the relaunch of our Mentorship Scheme for Early Career Scholars. This program is designed to support graduate students and postdoctoral researchers working in philosophy of science and related areas. Especially, but not exclusively, from, based in, or otherwise connected to Eastern Europe.

Applications are open year-round, there is no deadline to apply.

The mentorship program pairs early-career scholars with experienced mentors from the EENPS community, selected based on similar research backgrounds and professional interests. Mentors can provide their mentees with support and advice on a wide range of career-related matters, including:

●      Providing feedback on their papers

●      Offering guidance on relevant literature related to their research

●      Advising on how to write a strong philosophy paper

●      Research development and publishing strategies

●      Grant and funding applications

●      Preparing job application materials (CVs, cover letters, research statements, etc.)

●      Interview preparation and job market strategies

●      Emotional support and navigating the challenges of academic life

Whether you are seeking guidance on your current research, preparing for the next stage in your academic career, or looking for advice on securing funding, the EENPS mentorship scheme is here to assist you.

How it works:
After submitting your application, the EENPS will carefully review your profile and match you with a mentor who can best support your goals and needs.

●      Graduate students (Master’s and PhD levels)

●      Postdoctoral researchers
