Gender differences at critical transitions in the careers of science, engineering, and mathematics faculty
Gender differences at critical transitions in the careers of science, engineering, and mathematics faculty
Contains findings about career differences between female and male full-time, tenure-track, and tenured faculty in science, engineering, and mathematics at American top research universities, based on two surveys of faculty and departments in six fields: biology, chemistry, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mathematics, and physics. A departmental survey collected information on departmental policies, recent tenure and promotion cases, and recent hires in almost 500 departments. A faculty survey gathered information from a stratified, random sample of about 1,800 faculty on demographic characteristics, employment experiences, the allocation of institutional resources such as laboratory space, professional activities, and scholarly productivity.
