Academic science in Austria is characterized by vertical gender segregation. Higher levels of professional positions show a share of 80% of male compared to 20% of female academics. This article deals with the female underrepresentation in academia and analyses barriers and their consequences in different organizational contexts. The findings are based on 22 problem-centered interviews. The results emphasize social networks, gendered practices in everyday work and the work-life balance as crucial barriers for women. Nevertheless, the analysis also shows that different organizational contexts play an important role and do not only produce negative consequences for female academics.
