    <p>One of the issues that we’re tackling within the ivory tower is the need for faculty diversity. Some programs are beginning to make strides with undergraduate college completion among people from underrepresented groups, and we continue to work on broadening participation of graduate students and postdoctoral trainees in STEM fields. However, the composition of college faculty is one of the remaining bastions of the old guard, one that is has very little diversity especially in STEM fields, and particularly in areas such as engineering and computer science.</p>
    
    <h2>Combat the deficit, flood the gates</h2>
    
    <p>I would like to issue a challenge, or perhaps it should be a charge to diverse students and postdocs, especially in STEM fields: flood the gates. <strong>Apply for the open faculty positions.</strong> Here are 7 reasons why you should apply for open faculty positions, beyond the fact that the numbers of diverse faculty are sparse.</p>

The first hire will have a starting date in August 2016, and be at either the assistant or associate professor level. The second search will also be at the assistant or associate level and will take place in 2016-2017, as the College budget permits.</div><div><br></div><div>In 2006, Indiana University Bloomington’s Department of Gender Studies was the first in the nation to offer a Ph.D. in Gender Studies. We have now graduated eight doctoral students and have 40 presently working toward the degree as well as a robust doctoral minor affiliation comprised of graduate students from across the campus. We also offer an undergraduate major as well as undergraduate and graduate minors in Gender Studies. Current areas of strength in the department include race and ethnicity studies, feminist theory, media studies, cultural studies, sexualities, sexual health, spatial studies of sexuality and gender (including queer rurality and diasporic formations), and studies of science, medicine and technology.
