About Us

Academic Diversity Search (ADS) is a niche job posting board for women and underrepresented groups in higher education and research. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background, has the potential and right to reach their career goals.

Who are we?

In 2001 we began to support universities, colleges, research labs and schools to create a more inclusive and diverse work environment by connecting our highly qualified candidates internationally.

The continuously growing need and desire for academic institutions to increase their potential with excellent, diverse talent has not stopped since our beginnings. We continue to respond to the trend by growing our reach and services with women and minorities as target candidates.

Why does it matter?

Superior Reputation

A well integrated and diverse team increases the richness in research and teaching, improving its reputation among its multifaceted students and surrounding community.

Attracting Highly Qualified Candidates

Diversity and inclusion improve your employer brand and therefore create a highly desirable work environment for prospective employees.

Increased Employee Retention

Institutions and companies with a diverse workforce are more likely to be inclusive of individuals with a wide range of characteristics. More accepting cultures make employees feel welcome and valued and create a sense of belonging, resulting in lower turnover rates.

Greater Innovation

A diverse team brings multiple perspectives to develop innovative solutions. The richness of a multifaceted work environment expands academic progress and scholarly leadership.
