鈥淕ender, Research and Academic Career Formation: Findings from Two Studies鈥潀 Despite significant changes in the higher education sector internationally over recent decades which have seen increasing numbers of women entering academic employment, women remain under-represented in senior academic ranks. Whichever way we look at it, gender remains a key factor in determining academic career outcomes. At the same time, while research represents only one strand of academic work (alongside teaching and service or administration), in the modern university, it is generally taken to be the defining feature of the academic enterprise. Given too that research performance is generally a central factor in promotion to senior levels, the relationship between gender and research activity is of critical importance for those interested in the advancement of women within the academy. This presentation examines findings from two studies concerned with questions of gender and research performance. The first, a qualitative study focused on women鈥檚 capacity to establish and maintain highly successful research careers within universities, engages with debates about the complicated nature of unbounded intellectual work and the commodification of academic labour through the technologies of the neo-liberal workplace. The second study, based on a major survey of PhD graduate outcomes, investigates gender differences in early career academic employment paths and research performance. The study seeks in particular to identify and assess potential barriers for women鈥檚 university careers that lie in the context of their PhD experiences and to investigate the impact of having children on gender differences in early academic career formation.
