News and Resources for Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Application Deadline: 10 November 2024
Mentoring Experiences for Underrepresented Young Researchers (ME-UYR) is a mentoring program sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS).
Applications are invited from undergraduate and graduate student members of the IEEE SPS who are part of gender, racial, ethnic, or other minority groups that are underrepresented in the IEEE SPS. The applicant must be an IEEE SPS Member at the time of the application.
Each mentor and each mentee can only submit one project proposal.
In each project, mentors and mentees must be from different institutions, and preferably from different countries.
Students interested in participating in the program must go to the program website page and look for the list of available mentors and their research areas. Then, they shall contact a mentor in the list to express their interest. After agreeing to a plan, both shall write together a two-page (maximum) project proposal (minimum 11-point font, minimum 2.5cm margins, A4 or 8.5x11 paper). The proposal should cover the following points:
The evaluation criteria include:
Additionally, geographical and gender distribution will be taken into account in awarding the grants.
If the student does not find a suitable mentor in the provided list, they might invite additional mentors to register to the program by 15 September 2024, the instructions for the mentors can be found on this document.
The list of Potential Mentors for the program can be found on the ME-UYR page.
For students that have not decided on a mentor by mid-September, there will be a connecting event on 23 September 2024 (tentative date), where registered mentors will introduce themselves to potential candidates. More information on the event can be found on the program website.
All the project proposals should be submitted by email to sp-me-uyr@listserv.ieee.org.
