We launched our HPC-SIG mentorship programme in 2023/24 academic year, with people paired up with someone from another institution to mentor. Both mentor and mentee develop skills, knowledge and experience through one to one sessions (usually online) and webinars provided by Coach Mentoring.
We are running our second programme in 2025, with applications open until 25 January.
Having a mentor can be one of the most powerful developmental relationships a person will ever experience!
Who is this for?
Our mentoring programme is open to anyone involved in systems administration relating to HPC, including those in adjacent fields or roles. You must be employed at an institution that is a member (or affiliate) of the HPC–SIG (see https://hpc–sig.org.uk/index.php/about/membership/).
Mentees
– You could be in any systems administration role in the HPC or research computing fields.
– This is open to anyone, from someone just starting out in a junior role, to a seasoned sysadmin or team leader. We believe everyone can benefit from having an experienced mentor.
Mentors
– You are likely to be a senior sysadmin or a team leader, with at least 3 years’ experience in HPC or research computing.
– Maybe looking for opportunities to develop your own management or leadership skills—so being a mentor could be a great fit for you.
