Veteran Women BioMed Researchers Still Shortchanged

You might expect young women scientists to make less than older men. But veteran female life science researchers, even in very advanced positions, still make less than their male counterparts. So finds a report in the journal Academic Medicine.

你大概会想,年轻女性科学家肯定比年长的男性科学家挣得少,可实际上年长的女性生命科学研究者仍比同领域的男性挣得少,即使其身处高位也是如此。《美国医学教育杂志》的一篇研究就是这么发现的。

Previous studies about income disparities in the life sciences didn't take into account factors such as holding leadership positions. So for this study, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital surveyed more than 3,000 investigators at the top 50 academic medical centers. The anonymous responses included information on professional leadership activities, the number of papers published and the journals they were in, hours spent working on professional, scientific and clinical activities—and, of course, pay.

此前关于生命科学领域收入差异问题的研究没有把领导职位等因素考虑进去,而这篇研究目前为止已调查了50家顶尖医学中心的3000多名科学家。匿名反馈包括专业的领导职位、已发表的论文篇数、参与的期刊、在专业、科学、临床上花费的时间等信息,当然,还有薪酬。

Women in the same academic positions as men worked more hours. But they made on average six to 15,000 dollars less per year than their male counterparts.

与男性处于同等学术地位的女性工作时间更多,每年的薪水却比男性少6000至15000美元。

Over a 30-year career for an average faculty member, that disparity could result in a more than $200,000 difference. Lead researcher Eric Campbell says he suspects that, "Major systemic changes will be needed if we ever hope to achieve the ideal of equal pay for equal work in academic medicine."

对普通教工来说,以这样的收入差异工作30年会累计至20多万美元的不同。研究带头人埃里克·坎贝尔表示:“如果我们希望在医学界内达到同等工作、同等报酬的理想境界,就得对目前的体系进行大刀阔斧的改革。
