Popis: Pre and postdoctoral fellowships are currently the main access routes to the academic career in the Spanish university system. Diagnosing the factors involved in access, development and differential maintenance between women and men is an indispensable requirement for the implementation of measures aimed at achieving equality at work. Thus, in this research, we focus on these initial positions of the academic career. The objective is to know the working conditions and dynamics that are given by women and men during the first years of incorporation of teaching staff and researcher in training to the university. The study was based on a survey and in-depth interview with a sample of Research Staff in Training (PIF) of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV). The data indicate that there are differences in the working conditions as well as in the motivations, teaching loads and expectations that can condition the differentiated development by gender of the research career.
