This case study of a typical U.S. particle physics experiment explores theissues of gender bias and how it affects the academic career advancementprospects of women in the field of physics beyond the postdoctoral level; weuse public databases to study the career paths of the full cohort of 57 formerpostdoctoral researchers on the Run II Dzero experiment to examine if males andfemales were treated in a gender-blind fashion on the experiment.  The study finds that the female researchers were on average significantlymore productive compared to their male peers, yet were allocated only 1/3 theamount of conference presentations based on their productivity. The study alsofinds that the dramatic gender bias in allocation of conference presentationsappeared to have significant negative impact on the academic career advancementof the females.  The author has a PhD in particle physics and worked for six years as apostdoctoral research scientist, five of which were spent collaborating atFermilab. She is currently completing a graduate degree in statistics.
