But I wouldn't take it as a given (and I could easily imagine such an ad here in Germany, despite the Leopoldina longitudinal results). And, totally different line of thougt: IMHO the job ad insinuates that women do not take their carreer choice seriously. Which I do consider sexist. | |

BUT for engineering, where female proportion is very low, the fraction of habilitations by women now (2017-19) corresponds to the fraction of women starting engineering studies 2001-03. I.e., they seem to have had made up their mind as much as their male colleagues to have a serious carreer in engineering. Iow, undergrad students in engineering may not be the audience you need to convince. This UNESCO report for Asia (unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000231519) indicates that a relevant drop in interest/participation occurs much earlier, around 9th grade. | |
