Equal Opportunity in Junior Research Positions

Gender Equality and Development Opportunities

The University of Zurich is committed to fostering equal opportunity for women and men in actual practice. Achieving gender equality in junior research positions is an important step in this direction. The Office for Gender Equality and Diversity and the Gender Equality Commission offer support in the following matters:

Gender Representation across Academic Levels

At UZH, there ratio of men to women is equal up to and including the doctoral level. Thereafter, however, the percentage of women decreases with each further level of qualification. This disparity, often referred to as the “leaky pipeline” effect, differs in severity across the faculties.

Porträt Suslowa

By awarding an annual Suslowa Postdoc Fellowship, UZH enables a postdoctoral researcher to return to an academic career after interrupting or delaying research work for family reasons.
