This study examines the factors that influence the chance of getting a full-time tenure track? position in universities in biochemistry. Its main findings are: first, as age at the time of getting a Ph.D. degree increases and the more recent a birth-cohort a female Ph.D. belonged to, the more likely she was likely to get a job; second, the number of citations of publications in science-citation indexed journals during a Ph.D. program period and the number of publications in science-citation indexed journals in post Ph.D. period increased her chance of getting a job; third, a post doctoral program and the duration of Ph.D. training did not affect a chance of getting a job; finally, a Ph.D. from a foreign university and a prestige ranking of a Ph.D. program did not influence a chance of getting a job.
