  • Grossman examines the bias against women going for top science jobs. Discrimination against women in academic hiring has ended. Researchers Wendy Williams and Stephen Ceci claim this based on their study, which they say suggests women have a 2:1 advantage over equally qualified men in US science faculty hiring. Yet, while 40 per cent of science and engineering PhDs went to women in 2008, their faculty representation was low: 31 percent of full-time doctoral posts.
