Overall, 20% of earth science faculty at PhD-granting research universities were women (470 female faculty members out of 2,324 total). By rank, 36% of assistant professors, 24% of associate professors, and 13% of full professors were women. Large ranges in percentages (0%\u201340%) of female professors were observed between departments. No geographic trends were observed, nor was there any correlation between the national ranking of department and the percentage of women faculty. A small positive correlation between the size of the department and the percentage of female faculty was present as department sizes increased from 5 to 30 faculty members, and a small decline occurred between 30 to 50 faculty. Percentages of tenured female faculty were generally lower than the total percentage of female faculty members in each department. The top 5 departments in terms of percentages of female faculty were SUNY Buffalo Department of Geology (40%), Louisiana State University\u2013Baton Rouge Department of Geology and Geophysics (40%), University of New Hampshire Department of Earth Sciences (37%), University of Massachusetts\u2013Amherst Department of Geosciences (36%), and University of Nevada\u2013Las Vegas Department of Geoscience (35%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","tags":[],"publication_type":[16],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/7789"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7789"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.darkenergybiosphere.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=7789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
