With the Ecological Society of America as Lead Partner, the EcologyPlus alliance invites research scientists and professionals to join our team of mentors in an exciting new career pathways pilot project using a collective impact approach to broadening participation of underrepresented minorities in ecology and fields where ecology plays a significant role. EcologyPlus uses a collective impact approach and works with 15 partners in the Washington DC – Baltimore region to provide opportunities for undergraduates, graduate and recent graduates to explore ecological and environmental careers over two years. This project is made possible with an award from the National Science Foundation through the NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science) program. Why Mentor in EcologyPlus? · Share your passion for ecology with the next generation of scientists · Join a network of your peers to share experiences in mentoring and discover the wide range of careers in ecology · Attract diverse talented students and recent graduates for your programs, internship or employment opportunities · Mentors will be recognized by the Ecological Society of America Who Should Register All scientists, educators and professionals in the workforce across all sectors are welcome to apply. Scientists and professionals from agencies, nonprofits and business are especially encouraged to apply. Mentors should be able to commit for at least one year. To be accepted as a mentor, you must be in the workforce. We are not accepting graduate students as mentors for the pilot. We welcome mentors from anywhere in the world. Mentors in the Washington DC – Baltimore region will have the opportunity to meet with mentees. Questions?
