UBNEURO MENTORS

Welcome to the mentoring fellowships programme, our researchers are willing to help you!

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

If you would like to apply for a fellowship at the Institute of Neurosciences, please, get in contact with any of our researchers and ask them if they are willing to give you support. Below we list researchers in relation to the fellowship you would like to ask for.

Once the mentor agrees to help you, you just have to send him/her a confidential agreement signed by you and your supervisor (cc: cristina.pulido@ub.edu).

Only one mentor is allowed for each proposal.

All mentors have previously signed a Confidential Agreement. They all agree: 

  • to keep the content of all documents, comments and exchanges confidential.  
  • to keep confidential the identification of the candidate and his/her supervisor. 
  • to be honest and provide constructive feedback to the mentee. 

In general, mentors will be able to provide you support if you send them the “proposal” two weeks in advance.

However, we recommend you to contact your mentor to arrange process details.
