The Women’s Peer Mentoring Group (PMG) is a self-organized group of early-career female scientists on short-term contracts at WSL/SLF. Our aim is to support the career development of our members by promoting skills and networking.
We have a strong network of affirmed female scientist mentors that support us by sharing their insights into a life in research and help us develop important skills, from grant writing to career planning. Additionally, members enhance research skills and competences through peer-based help.
Numerous speakers and coaches are invited throughout the year to stimulate discussions on important questions. The main focus for the year 23/2024 is “How to best deal with decision making and achieve a good work-life balance as a female scientist” with a focus on female aspects of time management (e.g. success, care, fair, conscious of bias).
Last but not least, the PMG provides a platform where we can support each other both emotionally and practically, striving for a healthier work-life-balanced and informed career path choices.
