Women are in the minority in most sciences, although they form a growing share of the total in social science. This project will analyze the job histories of about 11,000 persons listed in 27 consecutive years of the annual listing "Guide to Departments of Anthropology". The project will link individuals in successive years to study their professional careers within these academic departments (until recently the main source of professional employment for anthropologists). Hypotheses to be tested involve the tentative finding that male and female appointment and promotion rates converge over historical time, and that the differences between male and female promotion rates diminish as persons advance to higher ranks. This research has implications for the general job market and women's labor force participation. The narrowness of the investigation within one discipline will allow control over key variables such as prestige of degree-granting and hiring departments, the variation within subdisciplines, and labor flows within a single discipline. The data base will be the foundation for future studies which link other data (on productivity, salary) to these.

尽管女性在社会科学中所占的比例越来越大，但在大多数科学领域，她们仍处于少数地位。本项目将分析连续27年入选《人类学系指南》年度榜单的约11000人的工作经历。该项目将连续几年将个人联系起来，研究他们在这些学术部门的职业生涯（直到最近，人类学家的主要职业就业来源）。有待检验的假设包括一项初步发现，即男性和女性的任命和晋升率在历史时期趋于一致，而男性和女性晋升率之间的差异随着职位的提升而缩小。这项研究对一般就业市场和妇女劳动力参与具有启示意义。在一个学科内的狭窄调查将允许控制关键变量，如学位授予和招聘部门的声望，子学科内的变化，以及单一学科内的劳动力流动。该数据库将成为今后将其他数据（关于生产率、薪金）与这些数据联系起来的研究的基础。
