Does Gender Matter for Promotion in Science? Evidence from Physicists in France

In this study, we examine the promotion dynamics at the largest European public research organization in basic science, the French Institute of Physics (INP) at CNRS. We construct a long panel combining a dataset on the career histories of INP scientists with information collected through an extensive survey. Using event history analysis, we find that, having controlled for scientific productivity, female and male physicists have the same promotion rate from junior to senior positions. However, promotion factors such as family characteristics, mentoring, professional network, research responsibilities have a different impact on female and male researchers. Our findings provide important hints to female and male researchers who intend to leverage these factors to develop a strategy for their promotion.
