The Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Section is piloting a 12-month mentoring program in 2020 and are looking for 10 mentor-mentee pairs to take part. Our aim is to connect early and mid-career biostatisticians and bioinformaticians to experienced mentors to provide them with career advice and mentoring to help them achieve their professional goals. More details can be found here.

If you are a member of the SSA with at least 10 years work experience in biostatistics or bioinformatics and willing to commit to participating in the program over a 12-month period in 2020, we would love to hear from you.
