Description:

This indicator shows the absolute numbers (head counts) of women and men among the most senior academic staff (Grade A) in each age group. Grades of seniority range from D (lowest) to A (highest).

The grades of seniority are based on national mappings according to the following definitions:

  • Grade A: The single highest grade/post at which research is normally conducted within the institutional or corporate system
  • Grade B: All researchers working in positions that are not as senior as the top position (A) but definitely more senior than the newly qualified PhD holders (C) (i.e., below A and above C)
  • Grade C: The first grade/post into which a newly qualified PhD (ISCED 8) graduate would normally be recruited within the institutional or corporate system
  • Grade D: Either postgraduate students not yet holding a PhD (ISCED 8) degree who are engaged as researchers (on the payroll) or researchers working in posts that do not normally require a PhD
