Buddy Advanced Program – Mentoring for Postdocs at GEOMAR

The Buddy Advanced Program is a mentoring initiative specially designed for postdocs at GEOMAR. It offers postdocs the chance to learn from experienced colleagues and receive tailored support for your personal and professional development.

Who can participate?

Mentors: Experienced scientists (6+ years post-PhD), data scientists, science and project managers

Mentees: Postdocs seeking support and development

Program Duration:
The program runs for 6 months and includes 4 one-hour meetings, with the option to extend by mutual agreement.

Workshop – A Great Way to Start:
We warmly invite you to join the introductory workshop on 26 September 2025. Attendance is voluntary but highly recommended to help clarify expectations and ensure a smooth start to the mentoring process.

26 Sept, 9:30–11:00, room 8A-101: Introductory workshop for mentors (Dr. Steve Hutchinson)

26 Sept, 11:15–12:15, room 8A-101: Introductory workshop for mentees (Dr. Steve Hutchinson)

Registration:
Use the form below to sign up for the respective workshop and/or to join as a mentor or mentee.

Matching Process:
Mentors and mentees will be paired based on their selected topics. To ensure a productive and unbiased mentoring relationship, mentor-mentee pairs should not currently work together or have a personal connection. Each pair will have a brief introductory meeting to confirm the fit; if needed, we will suggest an alternative match. In cases of high registration numbers, we may organize a speed-dating event to facilitate connections. Once matched, participants will sign the mentoring agreement and can officially begin their mentoring relationship.

Thank you for your interest and commitment to the Buddy Advanced Program!
