In a randomised experiment led by Corinne Moss Racusin, science faculty at US universities evaluated an application for a lab manager job. The materials were identical, except that half carried a man’s name and half a woman’s.
The “male” applicant was rated as more competent and hireable, and offered a higher salary and more mentoring, by both male and female faculty. Free to read, and one of the clearest demonstrations of everyday gender bias.
