Recruiting faculty
September 26, 2015
Professors L. Vosshall, C. Bargmann and N. Tronson were discussing the representation of women in the pools of applicants for faculty jobs the other day.

I surmised from the Twittscussion that they find that too few women are applying in their respective searches. These three are very well known neuroscientists so it isn’t like they don’t have the usual connections, either.
So what would you suggest?
How can a faculty member on a search committee work to get more underrepresented* individuals into the mix for a new hire?
