The biomedical imaging career path represents opportunities for middle-class incomes but does not have a population-representative diverse work force either locally or nationally. Workers are stratified by gender and race in the field of biomedical imaging. Our research project examines this field with the aim of better understanding both sides of hiring: how potential employees learn about career opportunities and navigate the application process, and how organizations manage their hiring process. The research focuses on the University of Illinois, as a leading local employer, but also situates the analysis within a broader framework of state and national trends in this career field. The objective of the overall project is to analyze barriers to workplace diversity and propose a set of concrete, actionable policy solutions for the University of Illinois, that are also scalable to other local institutions and other localities.
