I recently came across this study by the Chronicle of Higher Education, though it is a few years old. I found it pretty interesting since I have always planned on having kids at some point in between writing my dissertation and getting my first job (as advised by female academicians with kids I have spoken to).
"The worst time for women who pursue careers in academe to have a baby is within five years of earning a Ph.D., the study found. Women who do have babies then are nearly 30 percent less likely than women without babies ever to snag a tenure-track position. "
