About European Career Fair at MIT:
Representatives from international companies will be recruiting for
permanent positions and internships worldwide.  Although the focus of the
career fair is on the European job market, companies attending the fair have
recruited for positions in the USA and other countries in the past.
Participation is NOT limited to European citizens; graduate students and
postdoctoral scholars are particularly encouraged to attend.

And for postdoctoral women interested in academia:

As an engineering or science graduate student or postdoc, you already 
have a primary mentor.  But as you look forward to your faculty 
career, have you considered the benefits of having an additional 
mentor?

MentorNet's new Academic Career E-Mentoring Program matches women 
graduate students and postdocs in engineering and science interested 
in faculty careers with tenured faculty members for an 8-month 
mentoring relationship conducted via email.

Here is an opportunity to get additional information, encouragement, 
advice, and access to networks from a tenured faculty member in your 
field and, if you choose, from outside your current institution. You 
can search for and choose the mentor that best suits your needs and 
have a chance to discuss topics such as faculty jobs, networking, 
work/life balance, research issues, grant writing and your CV.

How do you sign up?
Go to www.MentorNet.net and follow this 2-step process:
1) Join the Community: Click on "Join" and register.
2) Create a One-on-One Program profile: Sign in to the community and 
follow the One-on-One Mentoring Program links and create a protege 
profile.

The MentorNet program has proven effective by providing "real world" 
information, encouragement, advice, and access to networks that are 
otherwise often unavailable to women students in the male dominated 
fields of engineering and science. This why over 90% of participants 
would recommend MentorNet's e-mentoring programs to a friend or 
colleague. Since 1998, MentorNet has matched nearly 20,000 proteges 
and mentors with strong results.  We hope you'll be one of them!
