We examine differences in the employment careers of men and women who received their PhDs from two major European universities. We find that women are more likely than men to be employed in administration. They are also more likely to remain in academia than work in industry. These differences persist after accounting for PhD curricula characteristics. Gender gaps are reduced for women with large research outputs and for those who conducted applied research. Women are less likely than men to pursue postdoc training in highly ranked universities and publish fewer articles. These differences largely explain the gender gap in promotion to professorship.
