Gender Differences in First Jobs for New US PhDs in the Mathematical Sciences

摘要

Among all US-earned PhDs in mathematics, women have slightly lower initial unemployment rates than men, but their first post-PhD jobs are less likely than men's to be at top universities and in business or industry, despite the prestige of their PhD-granting department. Among non-US-citizens, women have higher unemployment rates during 2001-2015. The percentage of women new PhDs who were employed at bachelor's-only departments was much higher than for men, with the greatest difference occurring in 2012-2015.
