SCIENTIFIC CAREER
� Researcher, Vienna University of Technology, Institute of Management Science, project “Female Biography
Analysis. Identity Constructions in Male-dominated vs. Female-dominated Professions”
to be started 01/2013
– Project manager
– Synopsis: The planned study puts the focus on women, and the way women perceive their biographies in
male-dominated vs. female-dominated professions. It is based on the fact that women’s lives are still based on
family and work and the segregation of professions and professional hierarchies according to gender aspects.
Narrative-biographical interviews and a comparative perspective of the two professional fields will lead to new
insights on the interrelation of biographies with gender and professions.
� Researcher, Vienna University of Technology, Institute of Management Science, project “Leaky Pipeline”
01/2010-12/2011
– Deputy project manager
– Responsible for biographical analysis (concept, analysis and interpretation; sub-project manager)
– Synopsis: Given the observed low percentage of female students in science and technology as well as the
high fluctuation of female scientists, a triangulation approach was used to examine specific conditions and
their impact on women’s careers at a university. Narrative-biographical interviews with female students and
scientists currently working at the VUT or having opted/dropped out of the VUT were utilized to explore
women’s life stories and careers as well as their self-perception in the environment of the VUT.
� Researcher, University of Vienna, Institute of Labor and Employment Law, project for an Austrian city-town
07/2009-05/2010
– Project manager for the analysis of social services
– Literature analysis, qualitative interviews, best practice analysis
– Synopsis: Based on socio demographic changes, an Austrian city is analyzed according to its current and
future capabilities to deal with current challenges such as over-aging, cross-cultural immigration and changing
work and family concepts. Methods used for analysis include qualitative interviews with experts, document
analysis and participatory observation.
� Researcher, University of Vienna, Austrian Institute of Family Studies, research project on part-time work
01/2008-05/2008
– Project manager for effects of part time work from company’s point of view
– Synopsis: Changes in labor law led to different applications of part time work, including an obligation for
enterprises to (under certain conditions) offer part time work for parents. The study summarizes effects of part
time work for employees on the one hand and employers on the other hand. To investigate employers’
opinions on and their use of part time work, semi-structured interviews with human resource managers are
conducted.
� Researcher, University of Vienna, Institute of Business Administration, in cooperation with the Austrian Council
for Research and Technology development 09/2007-02/2008
– Project manager and solely responsible researcher for the study “Human Resources in Austria”
– Synopsis: Austria, classified as an “innovation follower”, wants to sustain its competitiveness in Europe by
developing into a leading knowledge-based economy. This requires the steady promotion and qualification of
people living in Austria. A qualitative meta-analysis based on ~150 studies and reports from 2004-2007 leads
to the identification of the most important challenges and future political activities in the field of human
resources.

cooperation activities. The methods used for analysis is case study research, including semi-structured
interviews, document analysis and participatory investigation as well as quantitative questionnaires.
