She received the NWO Mosaic grant to conduct PhD-research on the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in leadership roles. During her PhD, she received the Fulbright grant to conduct research on the effects of diversity policies on minority leadership emergence at Yale University, Psychology Department. She defended her PhD-thesis titled “The Minority Glass Ceiling Hypothesis” in 2015. After her PhD, she received the NWO Rubicon grant to continue her research on female and racial-ethnic minority leadership. She worked at Columbia Business School, Management Division from 2015 to 2017 as a post-doctoral research scholar. In August 2017, she joined the University of Amsterdam as an assistant professor of Work and Organizational Psychology (tenured).

    Dr. Gündemir's research program focuses on diversity, equity and inclusion. The themes she currently studies include:

    • Organizational Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives: the determinants of the (in)effectiveness of DEI-initiatives inorganizations, employee resistance to diversity initiatives 
    • Diversity in leadership positions: the individual and contextual factors that hinder or encourage traditionally underrepresented groups (e.g., women, racial-ethnic minorities, LGBT) to attain and hold organizational leadership roles
    • The psychology of underrepresented and negatively stereotyped groups: racial and gender harassment in organizations, underrepresented groups' resilience to bias and discrimination, psychology of older employees, LGBTQ+ employees (e.g., as part of a FWOS-grant)
    • Teams in organizations: dynamics in working groups, diversity in teams
    • Intercultural contact and learning: multi-directional cultural change following cultural contact
    • Inclusive educational institutions: the effects of the multicultural approach on establishing inclusion and psychological safety in the multi-national classroom (e.g., as part of NRO's Comenius fellowship [completed], and NWO's Advancing Equity in Academia Thorugh Innovation grant [2023-2026])
