Our goal as a lab is to conduct innovative science in a safe and inclusive environment that values and encourages diverse opinions, perspectives, and approaches. We welcome all forms of diversity, including but not limited to diversity of background, nationality, beliefs, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, disability, immigration status, age, and veteran status. We want to hear everyone's voice, regardless of whether you have been in the lab for four years or one day, and regardless of whether you are an undergraduate or senior scientist.
The Hallem lab aims to recruit and support scientists from diverse, non-traditional, and underrepresented backgrounds and groups. We strive to create a diverse, inclusive, safe, and equitable environment where everyone can succeed and where everyone's well-being is a top priority. We foster collaboration, not competition. We value discussion of issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to being anti-racist. We firmly believe that the best science emerges when diverse voices are heard.
