Mentors
Great mentorship is the key to success in iGEM. Mentors will be expected to meet online with their teams at least twice per month to guide them through topics such as experimental design, human practices, wiki creation, and part submission. One mentor will advise each of the selected high school and collegiate teams, and mentors will be supported by the iGEM Ambassadors.
If you are interested in gaining experience in teaching, giving back to the iGEM community, and expanding your iGEM contact network, apply to be a mentor for iGEM 2018! All mentors must have at least 2 years of experience in iGEM, with preferably one of those years being on an iGEM team (but not required). Potential mentors will be evaluated based on their leadership abilities within their respective teams and their experience in mentoring others within iGEM or in other contexts. Anyone with at least two years of iGEM experience as a participant or team advisor is encouraged to apply.
The deadline to apply is June 24, 2018.
