Julia Melin is an assistant professor in Tuck’s Organizational Behavior group. She uses mixed-methods, online experiments, and large-scale digital interventions in real-world settings (including Fortune 500 companies and online career training platforms) to examine (1) how cultural beliefs about gender influence organizational practices, including hiring and talent assessment, and (2) how organizational practices can be designed to improve women’s opportunities for organizational advancement. Her research has been published in Organization Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Current Opinion in Psychology, and Social Psychology Quarterly, and has received awards from the Academy of Management, American Sociological Association, Phi Beta Kappa of Northern California, and NSF-funded Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS). Melin serves on the editorial board of Organization Science. Prior to academia, she worked as an analyst at Goldman Sachs and as a career consultant to software engineers for Hired, an online tech recruiting startup. She has also conducted policy research for the U.S. Military and the Performance Accountability Council Program Management Office as an adjunct researcher at the RAND Corporation. She received her PhD from Stanford University and her BA from Swarthmore College.
