We understand that part of how inequality is perpetuated in STEM is the lack of opportunities for education and career development provided to marginalized groups - including people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ people, women, and people from working-class backgrounds. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or members of other marginalized communities.
