CeMENT Worshops for Junior Faculty: July 29-31
Summer Economic Fellows Program
Posted on 12/15/2025: CeMENT
This summer, CSWEP will once again host its popular CeMENT mentoring workshops for junior faculty, running July 29–31 at the Chicago Fed. These workshops provide mentoring for women and nonbinary faculty in tenure-track positions in economics departments and similar programs and institutions across North America.
The workshops consist of a three-day program, beginning in the late afternoon on July 29th and ending in the mid afternoon on July 31st. Participants will be arranged into small groups and matched with mentors based on their research area and methodological toolkit. Group members and mentors will discuss and provide feedback on participants’ research. In addition, the workshops will feature larger panel discussions and Q&A sessions covering the research pipeline, networking, teaching, tenure preparation, and work–life balance. We also share meals and have some fun together.The AEA will cover participants’ lodging and food during the workshop, but mentees are responsible for arranging their own transportation. A limited amount of funding is available for mentees for whom travel costs pose a financial hardship.
If you are a prospective applicant:
Due to strong demand, preference is given to faculty in the middle years of the tenure clock, with efforts to accommodate other qualified applicants in subsequent workshops. Postdocs should wait to apply until they have started their tenure-track position.
