The National Science Foundation has awarded Catherine Albiston, Victoria Plaut, and two colleagues $1.5 million for their study on the hiring of STEM faculty at research-intensive universities. They will analyze the conditions, processes, and social contexts that generate—or mitigate—gender and racial disparities in faculty hiring at 10 UC schools. The study’s dataset will test theories about how gender and race influence applications, evaluations, and outcomes at various stages of the hiring process.
