Interviewing, selecting and hiring scientists
Before you start hiring: please review the following rESOURCES RELATING TO recognizing and counteracting GENDER AND MINORITY bias IN SCIENCE
Updated November 11, 2021
We strongly recommend viewing the following PowerPoint presentation created by Eve Fine of the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. It contains invaluable information about implicit bias and guidelines on how to counteract it during the hiring process:
•“Reviewing Job Applicants – Understanding and Minimizing Bias in Evaluation.” 2015, Eve Fine, Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute of the University of Wisconsin, Madison available at: http://wiseli.engr.wisc.edu/docs/Present_StOlaf_2015.pdf
We also recommend the following book from the same group, which is available as a free download:
•"Searching for Excellence and Diversity" 2012, Eve Fine and Jo Handelsman. Available as a free download at http://wiseli.engr.wisc.edu/docs/SearchBook_Wisc.pdf.
Lab dynamics, 3rd ed. Downloadable Worksheets and interview guides
Important note to readers of Lab Dynamics 3rd ed.
The interview guides and score sheets in the 3rd edition of Lab Dynamics contain an entry called “Fit with the group” in both the face to face interview and team members interview forms. In these new downloadable score sheets we have replaced this entry with “Brings unique perspective, background.” The interview guide elaborates: “Does the candidate add diversity of background, approach, thinking or experience? Adding diversity in any of these dimensions can enhance group creativity and idea generation.” We believe that this substitution adds an important evaluation criterion to candidate selection and encourage readers to use these new forms.
