I second the "supervisor", although I used to call mine "jefecito" - little boss in Spanish :)

Yeah, "supervisor" is what I tend to use, "boss" when trying for shorter (tho not sure academics fond of that one)

I think it depends on the relationship. Boss works with postdocs, but with GS I prefer mentor. Supervisor works for both!

I like saying boss. But maybe I'm unusual.

Advisor is nice though. IMHO better than boss and better than supervisor at delimiting and explaining role.

Crossing tweets :) I avoid "mentor" as default bc specific connotations, but I think adviser works for students.https://twitter.com/biochembelle/status/899750208128647168 …

PhDs in UK for example only last 3-4 years typically and students don't usually take classes. Important to bear in mind differences.

Yep—I think advising covers a few things that might a bit differ bt PhD work & other mgmt & mentoring roles.

I've also been under impression (perhaps mistaken) that "PhD mentor" isn't typically (or at least as frequently) used to describe role in UK

Neither is advisor. It's almost always "supervisor".
