Abstract
SOARES, Ricardo and NAEGELE, Rafaela. VERTICAL SEGREGATION IN CHEMISTRY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN BRAZIL. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2021, vol.51, e07754. Epub July 08, 2021. ISSN 1980-5314. https://doi.org/10.1590/198053147754.
To date, no studies on gender identity have been identified that would single out any institution of excellence in the field of Chemistry in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Although there is a gender gap, the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IQ-UFRJ) has a high proportion of teachers compared to the national average in the area. However, several phenomena described in the epistemology related to gender identity were evidenced, among them the scissors effect and the glass ceiling, since men are the majority of post-doctorates, dominate the four main positions of the academic career, make up the absolute majority of departments and receive double the number of research productivity grants from the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development.
