A wave of departures, many of them by mid-career scientists, calls attention to widespread discontent in universities.
Stacy, a psychology researcher at a US west-coast university who requested anonymity because she’s interviewing for industry jobs, tears up when explaining how she knew she wouldn’t become a full professor: “My productivity tanked trying to take care of a one-year-old during the early stages of the pandemic and quarantine, with no meaningful structural supports to offset the challenges.
Mary, who has asked for anonymity to protect her job prospects, blames structural bias and a lack of resources for holding her research back. In November 2008, she was hired for a chemical-engineering position at a public university in the southern United States; the role was created with funding available specifically for a qualified candidate from an under-represented background.
She says her university had written guidelines for tenure and promotion evaluations, but her department had not. Departments without explicit written criteria leave the door open for implicit biases against women and people of colour to tank their chances of promotion, she says.
