Women In Science

What Women In Science does

Women In Science (WIS), operating as WomenInScience.com, is a private for-profit company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida (9951 Atlantic Blvd., Ste 105) that runs an online job board and career platform focused on women in STEM. The platform aggregates science job opportunities across Life Sciences (Agriculture, Biology, Cancer Research, Ecology, Neuroscience, Physiology, Zoology), Physical Sciences (Astronomy, Chemistry, Engineering, Geoscience, IT, Math, Physics), Health Sciences (Clinical Research, Drug Development, Healthcare, Medicine), and an Other category covering science education and science policy. Its technology is a standard online job board with search, filtering, and application functionality; no proprietary AI, API, or mobile app is offered. Supporting the core job board, the platform operates an Articles/News section (content featuring women in science), a Scholarships resource, a Networking section, and a Career Resources hub, positioning itself as a broader career and community destination for women in STEM.

The company serves two primary customer segments in a two-sided marketplace: (i) women job seekers in science and STEM fields, ranging from entry-level to senior researchers, and (ii) science and research employers — including universities, research institutions, healthcare organizations, and government labs — seeking to recruit women into STEM roles. Named featured employers include Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Cleveland Clinic, Sandia National Laboratories, Augusta University, Baylor College of Medicine, Argonne National Laboratory, City of Hope, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, and University of Pittsburgh.

WIS monetizes via a transaction-fee model based on job postings and featured employer placements on the platform; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is extended through reciprocal channel partnerships with three adjacent niche job boards — ScienceJobs.org, Postdocjobs.com, and STEMcareers.com — which funnel additional science and postdoctoral listings into the network. The company is small (11–50 employees), privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue, ARR, or operating financials in the source data.
