The University of Wisconsin-Madison Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW–Madison. We value the contributions of each person and respect the profound ways their identity, culture, background, experience, status, abilities, and opinion enrich the university community. We commit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity as inextricably linked goals.
The University of Wisconsin–Madison fulfills its public mission by creating a welcoming and inclusive community for people from every background — people who as students, faculty, and staff serve Wisconsin and the world.
Sauer Lab Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
The Sauer Lab is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive environment that fully supports all people regardless of race, disability, socioeconomic status, religion, culture, gender, or sexual orientation.
In the Sauer Lab we recognize diversity not only strengthens our communities, but it makes science better. Individuals from diverse backgrounds bring unique perspectives and experiences to solving problems with creative solutions, leading to more impactful and more highly cited papers (Freeman, R.B., and Huang, W. Journal of Labor Economics 2015). With this outlook, the Sauer Lab strives to actively increase diversity in STEM through recruitment, retention, and facilitating success of individuals from all backgrounds. The Sauer Lab urges those from underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized groups to join us. Opportunities exist at multiple career stages including at the undergraduate (Biological Interactions, Bio152, Hilldale, etc), graduate (MDTP, CMB, CMP, MCP, CBMS) and postdoc levels.
