The UW-Madison Postdoctoral Association will host a panel discussion focused on “Addressing Disparities in Career Advancement for Women and Gender Minorities in STEMM” on Wednesday, Sept. 20, 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. in the DeLuca Forum of the Discovery Building.

This panel discussion aims to address the challenges women and other gender minorities face in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine), especially in the context of advancing their academic career, and will provide tools and resources to face these barriers. Through this facilitated discussion and networking, attendees will have the opportunity to create communities for guidance, support and advocacy. This event is open to all postdocs, graduate students, and early career faculty and staff.

Breakfast will be provided. This event will be held immediately before the 2023 UW-Madison Postdoctoral Research Symposium, and separate registration is required for each event.

Register for the panel discussion by Sept. 12. For questions, contact Jamie Hibbert at jhibbert@wisc.edu.

This event is made possible by a grant from WISELI, the UW-Madison Inclusion in Science & Engineering Leadership Institute. WISELI aims to increase the representation, advancement and satisfaction of women, gender minorities, and/or members of groups currently underrepresented on the faculty and in leadership at UW–Madison.
