Mentoring and Professional Development
Brandeis has made a special commitment to provide faculty with a range of mentoring resources. While our initial focus has centered on serving pre-tenure faculty in the School of Arts & Sciences, in the coming months, our efforts will expand to junior and senior faculty across all of the schools.
The Faculty Mentorship Program (FMP) is a permanent program that provides pre-tenure faculty with dedicated mentors and access to other professional development resources that will foster their success and well-being here at Brandeis.
Currently, our FMP efforts in the School of Arts & Sciences are as follows:
- Departmental Mentors are assigned by the dean with input from other faculty members in that department or program.
- A Senior Mentor is assigned from the FMP for each pre-tenure faculty member. For the Division of Science, the Senior Mentor is assigned by the Division Council.
- Peer Mentors may also be requested by new faculty, and will be assigned from outside of your home department or program.
- The Senior Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs serves as the Director of Faculty Mentoring. The Senior Associate Provost assists in scheduling workshops, hosting monthly lunch meetings, and is available for consultation.
- As part of their responsibilities, chairs of each Department/Program serve as additional mentoring resources for junior faculty within their department or program.
