What we’re looking for in a Mentee
Excellent communicator
Agentic, with a Getting-Stuff-Done attitude
Experience with empirical research
What we’re like as Mentors
Jess & Preeti: As a mentor, I’ll mainly provide high-level guidance but am also happy to jump in on hands-on engineering questions & pair programming to get things unblocked.
Past fellows valued clear and strategic guidance on project scoping and research direction, and detailed feedback on experiment design and technical setups.
We’ll have weekly group sessions but will also be available for 1:1s to talk through anything you might want feedback on
