Seven MacGillavry Fellows appointed

28 October 2019

The Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam aims to stimulate increased diversity in its research institutes. For this reason we instituted a special recruitment programme for top level female talent, the MacGillavry Fellowship. After two successful rounds in 2010 and 2013, this is the third time we opened up these special tenure track positions. In this round, we appointed seven MacGillavry Fellows.

Diversity

The Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam attaches great importance to the contribution of female scientists in research and education. For this reason we founded a recruitment programme for talented women, named after the ground breaking crystallographer professor Carolina MacGillavry (1904-1993), an alumna of the University of Amsterdam.
