We are extremely proud that nearly half the scholars in our program are women. Learn how we are advancing women in STEM.

“I am immensely grateful to the Zuckerman STEM program for providing me the opportunity to pursue my postdoctoral research in the United States. My postdoc was a transformative experience, impacting me not only on a scientific level but also on a personal one. Throughout this journey, I had the privilege of working alongside inspiring advisors, engaging with exceptionally talented and creative colleagues from diverse backgrounds at both the Broad Institute and Yale University, and fostering collaborative relationships with leading researchers in my field.”

Miriam Adler, alumna

“The Zuckerman program allowed me to work on projects at the forefront of understanding stony coral biomineralization with top researchers. I had an amazing time in Israel and look forward to continuing collaborations that were established during my time as a Zuckerman postdoctoral fellow.”

Jeana Drake, alumna

“I am very grateful to the Zuckerman STEM program for providing this opportunity to do postdoctoral research in Israel. It was a memorable time in my life: I had a lot of fun working with my postdoctoral advisor and colleagues and enjoyed living in such a culturally rich country.”

We continue to lead the way, raising the bar to ensure that women advance in the STEM disciplines. For every high-achieving woman making breakthroughs in her field, grows the circle of awareness grows, and eases access for young women leaders in STEM.

Culturally diverse and hailing from academic institutions throughout the United States, Canada and Israel, Zuckerman’s female STEM leaders are shattering misconceptions and establishing their strength within academia with transformative research and leadership.

Helping women scientists make an impact by establishing of their own lab

One of the toughest challenges for young female scholars is the leap from researcher to Principal Investigator (PI), a long, complex process that  requires a helping hand. The Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program provides much needed support to help the young PI establish a lab, as well as significant resources that provide an opportunity to learn from the Zuckerman community through mentorship and exchange. These are key tools that ensure the success of the lab – from the planning stage to staff recruitment and operational logistics. The Zuckerman Faculty Scholars Program is unique in its accompaniment of young researchers, giving promising young women researchers the opportunity to take their research to the highest level of scientific achievement.
