From an intersectional approach and the analysis of microdata from the Census of Higher Education for the year 2018, the study aimed to verify the racial and gender profile of higher education teachers from public and private institutions. Therefore, we sought, through statistical tests and multivariate analysis models, to verify whether there is racial or gender primacy, in addition to the prevalence of other items in the occupation of the position of higher teaching. The existence of racial and gender disparities in higher education was found, with white and male teachers being prevalent. In addition, significant associations were observed in relation to the intersection of gender and race in the occupation of this space. Age and professional performance and the fact of being a public or private institution conditioned the chances of non-white men and women in general to work in higher education. These elements support the thesis of racial and gender primacy widely discussed in the specialized literature.
