Cover Story: Academia is often said to be a challenging environment for women. Studies point out still-existing gender gaps in academia and leadership positions. We look at decision-making positions in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in academic research. We seek to understand if research roles are distributed equally gender-wise among cohorts in research units, as well as if deans’ genders are a factor of influence in such role attributions. Using univariate and bivariate tests, our research assesses gender distribution in research roles fostered by HEIs in public and private institutions. We take the specific case of Portugal; therefore, we cannot extrapolate the results to other countries. Our results highlight resisting differences in fields of research and coordination and role distribution among R&D units, as well as in relations between power positions in academia and research.
