The number ofnew faculty with disabilities is also expected to increase because greater numbers of individualswith disabilities are graduating with PhDs in STEM and are thus potential candidates for joiningthe professoriate [1]–[3]. Because students benefit from role models who reflect their ownidentities—as well as from exposure to instructors and mentors with diverse backgrounds—it isworthwhile to cultivate a diverse faculty, including disabled faculty [4].

following practices employees use in job crafting,(1) changing task boundaries, (2) changing cognitive task boundaries, and (3) changing relationalboundaries. Changing task boundaries is a job crafting technique where employees alter eitherthe type of task or the number of tasks at work. Employees alter their perspectives, thoughts, orbeliefs about their job when they change the cognitive task boundaries of their job. Further,employees change the relational boundaries of their jobs when they alter the nature of theirrelationships with others in a helpful way. The job crafting model has connections with jobdesign, meaning of work and social identity theories [10]. Recently, [15] leveraged the jobcrafting model conceptualized by Wrzesniewski and

For example, URM faculty are almostnonexistent in science and engineering departments at research universities due to this lack ofaccess compared to majority [1]. Thus, URM students are likely to find themselves withoutURM faculty needed to serve as optimal role models as those that “look like them,” and non-URM faculty members who are willing to engage in cross-racial mentorship often lack the multi-cultural competence to be comfortable in that role.

Students with ADHD or other neurodiversity such as autism, dyslexia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder are an invisible minority [2], and
