CES Mentorship Program for Economics and Business
The CES Mentorship Program (https://www.chinaeconjobmarket.org/#/mentorshipProgram) is designed to connect emerging and established scholars in economics and business. This initiative is a unique opportunity for Ph.D. students and junior scholars to gain personalized guidance from experienced senior academics, fostering growth and success in both research and career development.
Why Join the Mentorship Program?
This program is more than just mentorship; it’s a partnership that empowers scholars to:
- Tailor Research and Career Goals: Be matched with a mentor aligned with your interests and aspirations.
- Expand Academic Horizons: Gain support in tackling interdisciplinary challenges, publishing in new journals, and broadening your research impact.
- Navigate Career Transitions: Access expert advice on entering diverse academic job markets or exploring non-traditional career paths.
- Collaborate and Connect: Become part of a vibrant network that fosters innovation and collaboration across disciplines.
Whether you are a mentee or mentor, this program ensures tailored matches that maximize impact:
- Mentees: Share your research focus, challenges, and mentorship goals to find a mentor who complements your journey.
- Mentors: Offer guidance in areas where you excel, helping mentees shape their academic and professional paths.
In-person and Online Meetings
To accommodate diverse schedules and preferences, the program will feature a blend of in-person (in-person mentorship workshop at the CES 2025 North America Annual Conference) and virtual meetings. This flexibility ensures that scholars worldwide can benefit from this enriching experience.
Real-Life Mentorship Scenarios
- Publishing Guidance: A mentee may receive advice on submitting to unfamiliar journals, such as a marketing or operations management journal, outside their core field.
- Career Market Navigation: A mentee could gain insights into navigating academic job markets with distinct expectations, like transitioning from economics to business academia.
By joining this program, mentors and mentees alike will benefit from the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and strategies that strengthen our academic community.
