About the Harvard GenderSci Lab: The GenderSci Lab is a platform for innovation, collaboration, and the elevation of new and diverse voices and methodologies in the study of gender/sex in biology. The lab brings together gender scholars and biomedical scientists to build and validate new theory and methods for the intersectional study of gender/sex in human populations. Specifically, the GenderSci Lab works to forge concepts and methods to counter bias and hype in sex difference research, elevate the importance of context, contingency, and variation in the study of gender and sex in biology, identify novel methods of operationalizing gender as a variable in intersectional biomedical research, and engage the implications of biological claims about gender and sexual diversity for law and public policy relevant to the lives of gender and sexual minorities. The lab manager will work directly with and receive mentorship from the Lab Director, Sarah Richardson.
