| Abstract | |
Studies about the way gender is expressed in the bui,ding of academic careers have showed that women are in considerable disadvantage in such professional space. Investigating the matter in countries such as the USA, England, France, the Netherlands and Australia, those studies explain this disadvantage to the socially constructed opposition between work and Family demands, and also to the subjective perception of male and female work in hiring and promotion processes. This research offers a contribution to this field, choosing as object the academic career in an importante public university in Brazil - the State University of Campinas. Its interest is studying a career in which these two elements are, at least partially, euphemized. First, academic women from this university can afford paying for domestic work, having more time available to scientific work by doing so. Second, the academic career in Brazilian universities, as a state-hiring job, are ruled by universalist rules in hiring and promotion processes. Besides that, in the case of universities from the state of São Paulo, as they are administratively and finantially autonomous, the criteria that guide hiring and promotion is defined in a collegiate system. Our results show that: (i) women are not in a systematic disadvantage regarding access to the top of the career at Unicamp; (ii) sex is related to certain patterns of professional trajectories, so women, for example, are less related to international circulation and productivity grants; (iii) social demands in what concerns children and old relatives care-giving still fall mostly on women; (iv) gender represents a series of limitations imposed to women either before, out of, in or at their careers, what makes their trajectories seem more troubled than those of men, even when comparing only professors who did get to the top of the career in many aspects.
