Competition for the best talent is stiff. Here are ways for recruiters and jobseekers to stand out from the crowd.
Recruiting talented students and staff can make a difference to laboratories’ research outputs, enhance the achievements of principal investigators and research groups, and boost the reputations of their programmes and universities. But lockdowns and border closures triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic intensified global competition for talent as many researchers grappled with anxiety about big career moves, with some preferring to stay in their current roles.
I have a diverse lab and am proud of it. I’ve trained 12 PhD students — and among the 10 who have graduated so far, 4 are Black women, one is a Korean woman and one is a Filipino American man. Four women have also obtained tenure-track faculty positions. Of the 60 undergraduate researchers my lab has trained, at least 30 are from under-represented communities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The pandemic might mean that such events go hybrid, with much-reduced in-person interaction. Candidates can still shine by producing short videos to introduce themselves and their research virtually, which can be helpful when it is time to shortlist applicants for interviews.Conservation genomics researcher and principal investigator at the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus and Helmholtz AI in Munich, Germany, and at the Technical University of Munich School of Life Sciences in Freising, Germany.
I plan to involve my lab members in this process, and I feel that the experience will prove extremely valuable to them — even if they move to industry to lead a team.

At the peak of the pandemic, my colleagues organized virtual lab tours on YouTube and reinvented our recruitment strategies. For instance, my university started featuring research related to the pandemic, including a project from my lab on COVID diagnosis. Over the past two years, we’ve seen an increase in the number of strong applicants wanting to read bioengineering.Associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
