Diversity in Academia

In a collaboration with Dr Carter, Dr Croft, and Dr Sandstrom, we have collected an overview of data, resources, and advice around the attrition of minorities in academia. This arose from our project to promote diversity in question asking at academic seminars. I also participated in a project that investigated the effect of the Covid pandemic on gender gaps in research productivity.

For the Open Research Pledge and Code of Conduct, see the websites of our research group.

Grant and jobs information

I compiled a list of 350 funding opportunities for independent postdoctoral research fellowships in the biological sciences.

Various online boards collect job announcements, here is a list of some in biology and conservation.
