Resumen

A la vez que los sistemas de Ciencia y Tecnología se transforman hacia organizaciones más abiertas e internacionales los doctores españoles también están incrementado drásticamente su movilidad hacia el extranjero. En este contexto, nuestro artículo persigue dos objetivos. En primer lugar, identificar cuáles son los factores que explican las decisiones de movilidad hacia el extranjero de los doctores españoles con un especial enfoque al género y a la organización de la carrera académica. Y en segundo lugar, tratar de averiguar por qué la intensidad de la movilidad internacional difiere tanto entre los doctores españoles. Para conseguirlo, se estiman varios modelos econométricos (probit and ordered probit) utilizando los datos de la encuesta española de Recursos Humanos en Ciencia y Tecnología de 2009 (RHCT-2009) comprobando cómo los rasgos personales, académicos y laborales afectan a estas decisiones. Los resultados alcanzados indican que la movilidad hacia el extranjero de los doctores españoles juega un papel inicial en el desarrollo de una carrera académica. Además, se observan diferencias por género en torno a la movilidad internacional en contra de las mujeres, las cuales parecen enfrentarse a mayores dificultades a la hora de llevar a cabo este tipo de inversión en capital humano.
