CAREER: University Determinants of Women's Academic Career Success

哪些大学政策和做法与女性学术科学家和工程师的招聘、保留和晋升有关，它们如何影响职业发展？该项目将：1)开发一个关于研究型大学教师招聘、留用和与晋升相关的人事实践的纵向背景数据库；2)描述和描述这一学术部门与教师相关的人事实践；3)将背景数据库与个人层面的数据联系起来；以及4)开发统计模型来测试学术机构内部和之间的学术职业发展轨迹。公共用途数据库将引起在性别、科学职业和大学组织行为领域工作的学者的兴趣，因为它提供了1)可与个人一级的数据相联系的数据，以便进行统计分析，其中考虑到了背景因素；2)可用于描述性分析广泛研究大学的人事和职业发展做法的数据。这项研究将提高政策制定者和行政领导的能力，以了解大学的组织环境如何促进公平的学术职业发展条件。这项研究将使主要研究人员能够开发出整合纵向和多层次数据使用的方法技术。这项研究将导致开发目前佐治亚理工学院没有的研究生级别的统计课程。这门课程的课程可能也会引起其他机构的教授的兴趣，并将通过一个专业协会和互联网进行传播。研究团队将由研究生、本科生和公共K-12 STEM专业人员组成，在职业奖项的所有阶段。

What university policies and practices are relevant to the recruitment, retention, and advancement of female academic scientists and engineers, and how do they affect career development? The project will: 1) develop a longitudinal contextual database of faculty recruitment, retention, and advancement-related personnel practices in Research Extensive Universities; 2) describe and characterize faculty-related personnel practices in this academic sector; 3) link the contextual database to individual-level data; and 4) develop statistical models to test academic career trajectories within and between academic institutions. The public-use database will be of interest to scholars working in the area of gender, scientific careers and university organizational behavior by providing 1) data that can be linked to individual-level data for statistical analysis that accounts for contextual factors; and 2) data that can be used for descriptive analysis of the personnel and career-development practices of Research Extensive Universities. The research will enhance the ability of policy makers and administrative leaders to understand how the organizational contexts of universities foster conditions of equitable academic career developmentThe study will enable the principal investigator to develop methodological techniques that integrate the use of longitudinal and multilevel data. The research will result in the development of a graduate-level statistics course that is not currently available at Georgia Institute of Technology. The curriculum for the course is likely to be of interest to professors at other institutions as well, and will be disseminated through a professional association and on the Internet. The research team will be comprised of graduate students, undergraduate students, and public K-12 STEM professionals during all phases of the CAREER award.
