About the project:
Women are under-represented in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine, reflecting a serious problem of gender inequality. Laboratories are the archetypal STEMM workplace
but no research has systematically studied how interpersonal and structural lab dynamics contribute to gender disadvantage and discrimination in STEMM careers. The Scientia scholar will use qualitative research methods such as interviews and participant observation
to compare gender dynamics within university-based, fieldwork and industry labs across a range of STEMM disciplines to better understand workplace experiences, opportunities and barriers, for women and men. Within this scope, the Scientia Scholar will focus
on gendered experiences of collaboration, career pathways, and the impact of caring-based career disruptions within lab settings.
About the candidate:
The ideal candidate will have a passion for gender equality and social justice and knowledge of the challenges women face in a male-dominated workplace such as the STEMM laboratory. They
may be from a social science or science background with at least Hons 2i and ideally one or more journal publications. The candidate should have an interest in qualitative research methods, experience writing literature reviews and excellent written and verbal
communication skills. Previous research experience, including data collection and analysis, is desirable.
