论文摘要

在进入物理学的途中,博士学位学生必须在许多层面上克服困难。除了智力挑战之外,还有心理,社会和经济障碍。我们研究了物理学博士遇到的困难。以色列大学的学生特别关注与性别相关的问题。在女性中比男性要重要的障碍要重要得多 - 我们称之为“玻璃障碍” - 我们发现与性别相关的歧视,性骚扰,性骚扰,生理和心理健康问题,以及与怀孕和育儿有关的挑战。我们为与之相处的障碍提出了建议。

On their way to an academic career in physics, Ph.D. students have to overcome difficulties at many levels. Beyond the intellectual challenge, there are also psychological, social and economic barriers. We studied the difficulties experienced by physics Ph.D. students in the Israeli universities, with special attention to gender-related issues. Among the hurdles that are much more significant for women than for men -- that we call ``the glass hurdles" -- we find gender-related discrimination, sexual harassment, physiological and psychological health issues, and challenges related to pregnancy and parenthood. We make recommendations for ways to confront and remove these barriers in order to provide female physicists with an equal opportunity to succeed.
