Animal Behaviour Collective - Mentorship Programme 2021
Hello! We are the Animal Behaviour Collective, a collective of animal behaviour researchers organising microgrants and mentorship for undergraduate & graduate students in animal behaviour. To match mentees with mentors, both fill out forms that ask questions about your availability, your area of interest, and what you’re looking to get out of this mentorship. We will match you with someone outside of your institute, unless your request otherwise.

As a mentee, you are specifically asked what you are looking for in a mentor. We will use the criteria you give to find the best possible match for you in our database.

You are only required to complete Name, Institutional email and Affiliation on the form; all of the other sections are optional. But if you provide more information we will be better able to match you with a mentor. We will use the information on your form to match you with a mentor, according to what both of you are looking for in a mentorship. When we match you, we will contact you first to confirm whether you are able to accept the prospective mentor. If you accept, then both you and your mentor will need to go through our Code of Conduct (here: https://tinyurl.com/yyfgrv7n) and agree to it. Once both of you have agreed to the Code of Conduct, we will put you and your mentor in contact, and from there you can arrange your communications to fit both of your requirements. After the first month we will send both mentor and mentee feedback forms, just to check how things are going. We will also send a form to check-in at the end. This is part of our Safeguarding Policy. If either mentor or mentee have concerns or complaints, please contact us immediately at animalbehaviourcollective@gmail.com. We are working to make this a safe and positive experience for everyone involved!

Would you like the mentorship to be focused on a specific country’s academic system, and if yes, which country?
What would you be interested in being mentored about? (please check all that apply)
Please briefly name the top 3 criteria or characteristics of your ideal mentor, in order of importance? Please also specify in brackets whether this is a required (rather no mentor than a mentor without this characteristic) or preferred characteristic (e.g., a woman (required), from South America (preferred), studying primates (preferred)). If you have no preferences, you can leave this blank, and we will match you based on research topic and country with a mentor.
If you are interested in being matched with mentors from historically excluded groups to share their experience, please tell us a bit about how you identify.
What career stage(s) would you like your mentor to be at? (please check all that apply)
