Microbes and Social Equity Working Group
The purpose of MSE is to connect microbiology with social equity research, education, policy, and practice to understand the interplay of microorganisms, individuals, societies, and ecosystems. Collectively, we seek to generate and communicate knowledge that will spark evidence-based public policy and practice, supporting equity and sustainability for all.

Faculty Job Market Collaborative (FJMC)
The Faculty Job Market Collaboration is a multi-institutional collaboration studying the factors involved in the academic faculty job market. In 2020, we published the results of a 2018 to 2019 job market applicant survey in eLife. In 2019-20 we began another, more detailed survey effort to assess the faculty job market, collect additional applicant demographics, and expanded our data collection efforts to include social science researchers.
