Overcoming Institutional Bias in Hiring

The prestige of a candidate's university can overshadow their actual research output and potential, creating bias in hiring processes.

The bias can influence initial screenings and may impact candidates' ability to secure postdoc opportunities or jobs at top research institutions.
