Call for Returning Mentors

We’re looking for past students living in Canada, EU/UK, Japan and Australia to serve as mentors at this year’s International HPC Summer School in Perth, Australia, July 12-17, 2026.

Deadline: Friday, February 20, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth)

This is a competitive application process, so we encourage thoughtful responses. We are particularly interested in your ability to contribute to non-technical mentoring.

Mentor Responsibilities:

  • Give a lightning talk about your work and career path
  • Run poster sessions
  • Assist students during hands-on sessions
  • Contribute to the mentoring programme

Preference will be given to:

  • Applicants who did not serve as returning mentors at the 2024 Kobe Summer School or the 2025 Lisbon Summer School
  • Those who have had a change in career stage (e.g., grads now in post-doc/professional positions, post-docs now faculty, etc.) since they attended the Summer School

You must attend the entire Summer School (July 12 evening – July 17 afternoon). Travel, lodging, and food expenses will be covered.

If you have any questions, contact us via the emails listed in the application
