The purpose of this programme is to provide PGRs with a trained mentor with whom they are able to have supportive, non-judgemental conversations about their experiences of postgraduate research and their professional and career development. The YCEDE PGR Mentoring programme is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/ycede.ac.uk\/category\/opportunities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a wider programme of opportunities and support that students can access.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration is now open for interested postgraduate researchers who would like to become a YCEDE mentee. Please find full details of the YCEDE PGR Mentoring programme below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the YCEDE PGR Mentoring programme?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yorkshire Consortium for Equity in Doctoral Education (YCEDE) is a collaboration between five universities in Yorkshire, 12 UKRI-funded Doctoral Training partnerships and Centres for Doctoral Training plus a number of external partners dedicated to equity at the doctoral level. The five Yorkshire universities involved are; Sheffield, Leeds, York, Bradford and Sheffield Hallam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a 6-month, one-to-one mentoring programme, which pairs a PGR with a member of staff, either at their own institution or from a partnered university. This mentoring programme is not for PGRs seeking research-specific guidance or support, as mentors will not be able to comment on your research. This programme is for those who wish to speak with a mentor about their experiences of postgraduate research and\/or their professional and career development. Further details and programme specifics will be covered as part of the induction process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The YCEDE PGR mentoring programme forms part of our commitment to ensuring we deliver an equitable PhD experience for black, Asian and minority ethnic PGRs across the consortium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is eligible to be a YCEDE mentee?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To participate, we ask that you identify as black, Asian or minority ethnic and are a home (UK-domiciled) student currently enrolled as a doctoral researcher at a YCEDE institution. This programme is open to PGRs in any year of their doctoral programme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask that interested PGRs can commit the following to the programme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be able to meet with their mentor 6 times between January and June 2023. Meetings can be held online or in person and we would suggest having an expectation of each meeting being approximately an hour in duration.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be able to attend an induction programme which forms part of our support to both mentors and mentees. This includes an induction to the programme and mentoring, and a bespoke session delivered by <a href=\"https:\/\/diverseminds.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diverse Minds<\/a>. These can be attended together or as two separate sessions (totalling 3.5 hours). All sessions are held online.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are committed to providing feedback to the programme.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Diverse Minds session is being held Tuesday 6th December 10:00 &#8211; 12:00. Induction workshops are being held on several dates and you only need to attend one: Monday 5th December, 10:00 &#8211; 11:30; Tuesday 6th December, 12:00 &#8211; 13.30; Wednesday 14th December, 13.30 &#8211; 15.00.
