As part of the strategic plan linked to the María de Maeztu Seal of Excellence award, CIMCYC is recruiting a staff scientist to support behavioral task programming and advanced data analyses of research projects carried out at the center.
Research in human sexuality is essential due to its impact on people's sexual health and well-being, although it is sometimes perceived as innovative, different, or unconventional. Consequently, participating in sexuality studies might mean that only specific individuals, with certain characteristics, show interest in participating, which would result in significant methodological bias due to a lack of sample representativeness. This bias could be more pronounced in studies involving psychophysiological measures of genital response (e.g., penile erection or vaginal pulse amplitude recordings), as they are perceived as intrusive methods in people’s intimacy. Despite this evidence, few studies have addressed this potential bias.
The SOMMa Alliance, to which CIMCYC belongs as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence, has developed a manifesto to describe the historical situation and the need to promote the candidacies of female researchers for various awards.
Despite the growing presence of women in most sports disciplines, sports have traditionally been characterized as a discriminatory context.
