We examine gender differences in collaboration networks and academic career progression in physics. We use the likelihood and time to become a principal investigator (PI) and the length of an author's career to measure career progression. Utilising logistic regression and accelerated failure time models, we examine whether the effect of collaboration behaviour varies by gender. We find that, controlling for the number of publications, the relationship between collaborative behaviour and career progression is almost the same for men and women. Specifically, we find that those who eventually reach principal investigator (PI) status, tend to have published with more unique collaborators. In contrast, publishing repeatedly with the same highly interconnected collaborators and/or larger number of co-authors per publication is characteristic of shorter career lengths and not attaining PI status. We observe that women tend to collaborate in more tightly connected and larger groups than men. Finally, we observe that women are less likely to attain the status of PI throughout their careers and have a lower survival probability compared to men, which calls for policies to close this crucial gap.

A Case Study of Gender Bias at the Postdoctoral Level in Physics, and its Resulting Impact on the Academic Career Advancement of Females
这个典型的美国粒子物理实验的案例研究探讨了性别偏见的问题,以及它如何影响女性在博士后水平以外的物理学领域的学术职业发展前景;我们使用公共数据库来研究Run II Dzero实验中57名前博士后研究人员的整个队列的职业道路,以检查男性和女性是否在性别上被对待-盲目地进行实验。研究发现,女性研究人员的平均生产力明显高于男性同行,但根据其生产力,仅分配了会议演讲量的1/3。研究还发现,在分配会议发言的显着性别偏见似乎有显着的负面影响,对女性的学术生涯的发展。作者拥有粒子物理学博士学位,并作为博士后研究科学家工作了六年,其中五年在费米实验室合作。她目前正在攻读统计学研究生学位。
