FIELD program

This program runs from October 2024 to May 2025.

The application form includes questions related to your employment and we also ask you to briefly describe:  

  • Why you are interested in promoting gender equal meriting opportunities in academia 
  • What you think is needed to achieve more gender equal meriting opportunities at KI 
  • What you need and wish from a mentor

You can be part of the program if you have:  

  • had a doctoral degree for at least 2 years but do not have an employment as senior lecturer or professor at KI or elsewhere, nor position as associate professor outside of KI
  • an employment at KI or are adjunct to research and/or education at KI through employment of at least 20%   

What you gain:

  • A unique possibility to build strong networks with the participating fellows and mentors
  • Science-based knowledge related to gender equal career opportunities and possibilities to relate own experiences with the different topics covered during seminars with leading researchers from different universities
  • Support and possibility for reflection in smaller mentoring groups about career opportunities
  • Deepened knowledge on a topic of choice through small assignment in groups that will contribute to strengthening gender equal meriting opportunities at KI
