The NETWISE research group is a multi-institutional research group that conducts research on careers of academic scientists, with special attention to underrepresented and understudied groups in STEM.

A common thread in the NETWISE suite of studies are questions related to how social and professional networks matter in academic careers. Our studies also focus on relevant intersectional factors (race/ethnicity/gender/nativity and socioeconomic background). Given the richness of the data, project dissertations and papers have addressed a range of important issues in the careers of academic scientists well beyond those originally envisioned. As a team, we hope to contribute to both the theoretical understanding of how networks matter in the career advancement of academic scientists, but also to provide findings that will be useful in improving practice.
