Update on 18 February 2026

​

Dear Colleagues,  

 

The International Society of Radiation Epidemiology and Dosimetry (ISoRED) is excited to announce that, after a successful third year, applications are now open for mentees and mentors interested in joining the fourth year of our Mentorship Initiative Network of ISoRED (MINI). The goal of MINI is to expand access to extracurricular career guidance and professional development for early career scientists interested in radiation epidemiology, statistics, or dosimetry. MINI achieves this goal by pairing early career scientists with more senior scientists conducting research or otherwise working in the target fields for a one-year, one-on-one career mentorship experience. 

 

If you are a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or early-career investigator (assistant professor level or within 5 years of terminal degree) in one of the above-listed fields, we’d love to help provide you with added professional development and career guidance.
 

👉To apply to be a mentee, please complete this brief interest form.

 

If you are a scientist in one of the above-listed fields and would be happy to share your experience and understanding of possible career paths with scientists at an earlier career stage than you, please consider applying to be a mentor! Please note that you do not need to be a senior scientist to mentor - we’ve had several postdoctoral fellows serve as mentors in the past!

 

👉To apply to be a mentor, please complete this brief interest form.

 

Mentee applications are closed. Mentor application deadline extended until April 14, 2026.

 

For more details about the program, please see the one-page overview of MINI and list of frequently asked questions.

 

For questions about MINI, please contact Yuehan Wang (Yuehan.wang@nih.gov) or Cato Milder (Cato.Milder@hq.doe.gov). 

 

Please feel free to circulate this information to colleagues! We look forward to receiving your applications! 

 

Kind regards,

The International Society of Radiation Epidemiology and Dosimetry (ISoRED) was initiated in 2019 to bring together radiation researchers from around the world to discuss new results of studies of ionizing radiation effects in humans, epidemiologic methodology and dosimetry; support capacity building and training for the next generation of scientists interested in radiation epidemiology, statistics and dosimetry; and promote and facilitate international collaborations.
