Faculty mentoring does not end with tenure. In fact, research suggests historically underrepresented faculty at the mid-career rank of Associate Professor have different challenges. At Lehigh, steps to address issues at associate rank are under way. One path is to work with a mentor or career coach to set short and long term goals. If the goal is to be promoted to full professor, this plan can be discussed with internal mentors and department chairs.

Research suggests women may be drawn more to collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Lehigh ADVANCE will shed light on to what extent and how interdisciplinary work is gendered, not only in terms of participation but in terms of outcomes.
