Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

The Opresko lab is committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce, and to defeating systematic racism. We welcome and seek to recruit dedicated scientists from all backgrounds regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, languages spoken, age, disability, or religious beliefs. The greatest ideas and discoveries come from a diverse mix of backgrounds and experiences, and we aim to foster an environment of open communication, unique ways of thinking, and different perspectives to enrich our scientific research.

To achieve these goals and enact meaningful change, we are working with the University of Pittsburgh community by participating in various workshops, events, and opportunities to support under-representative minority trainees. These include participation in webinars that increase our knowledge and awareness of social injustices toward black and other URM individuals, and events sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Postdoctoral Association (UPPDA).
