Abstract: xPromoting gender equality and excellence are key policies in academia. In this work, we studied scientific output and potential gender disparities in faculty positions at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), the largest academic institution in Spain. We found that women are clearly underrepresented in full professor positions despite being a majority in lower academic ranks. This gender disparity in full professor positions is however narrowing down in recent years. The scientific output of researches, as judged by the h-index, varied greatly between Faculties, but overall, correlated positively with the academic rank and no significant differences were detected between women and men, although exceptions were noted. Judging by the m-index, the scientific output of women and men in full professor positions were also alike. In sum, there is effective equality between genders within UCM faculty ranks.
