Each interaction has a high p-value, which means there is not much variation that can be explained by the interaction between sex, discipline and rank. So, there are no significant interactions.

From the post-hoc test results, we see that there are statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between sex group Male-Female, between discipline group B-A and between rank groups AsspcProf-AsstProf, Prof-AsstProf, Prof-AssocProf. So, basically between each group.
Can years since doctorate (yrs.since.phd), length of service (yrs.service) be significant as covariates?

Years since doctorate is not significant as covariate but length of service is (0.02143 < 0.05).
Is there any significant difference in years since PhD (yrs.since.phd) and seniority (yrs.service) of different rank professors?
