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)建立一个纵向背景数据库，记录研究型大学的教师招聘、保留和与人员晋升相关的实践；2)描述和描述本学术领域与教师相关的人事实践；3)将上下文数据库与个人层面的数据连接起来；4)开发统计模型来测试学术机构内部和学术机构之间的学术生涯轨迹。公共使用数据库将使从事性别、科学事业和大学组织行为领域工作的学者感兴趣，因为它提供了1)可以与个人层面的数据相联系的数据，以便进行统计分析，说明背景因素；2)可用于研究型大学的人员和职业发展实践的描述性分析的数据。该研究将提高政策制定者和行政领导人的能力，了解大学的组织环境如何促进公平的学术职业发展条件。该研究将使首席研究员能够开发综合使用纵向和多层次数据的方法技术。这项研究将导致开发一门研究生水平的统计学课程，这门课程目前在佐治亚理工学院还没有开设。其他机构的教授可能也会对该课程的课程感兴趣，并将通过专业协会和互联网进行传播。在CAREER奖的各个阶段，研究团队将由研究生、本科生和公立K-12 STEM专业人士组成。

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.
