This paper uses career history data from a sample of academic psychologists to examine the extent, patterns, and consequences of interinstitutional job mobility by sex. Though professors have been characterized as mobile, we find relatively low levels of mobility. This mobility does not lead to demotion but often results in moves that are horizontal or out of academia. Changing schools early increases the chances of being on tenure track but later decreases the chances of having tenure-level rank. We find little evidence of barriers to mobility across types of institutions, although we do find that different types of schools offer different rates of promotion. Women change institutions somewhat faster than men, largely because they move faster out of academia, and they gain less from their moves. However, there is little sex difference in variables predicting mobility or outcomes
