The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of North Dakota $717,046 on December 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct collaborative research examining career entry into biomedical faculty roles. The research will generate knowledge about career pathways to tenure-track faculty positions in biomedical sciences by examining how scientists navigate the faculty job market and how faculty hiring decisions are made. The project will investigate which educational, professional, and institutional factors predict faculty hiring outcomes; how applicants navigate the hiring process and make career decisions; and how faculty search committees define and implement evaluation practices. The research will integrate national surveys of STEM faculty job applicants, longitudinal interviews, surveys of faculty search committee members, and analyses of national faculty posting data. Quantitative and qualitative analyses will identify factors associated with hiring outcomes and explain applicant decision-making, committee practices, and institutional hiring practices. Project findings will be synthesized through an open-access data infrastructure that includes publicly available dashboards, reports, and research products to support informed career decision-making. Work is performed in Grand Forks, North Dakota, with a period of performance from December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2031. The award is supported by NSF's Education Core Research (ECR) program, which emphasizes fundamental STEM education research generating foundational knowledge in the field.
