Two Body Problems
Partner hires have become a STEMinist issue, especially for the fields of Evolution & Ecology, in which the majority of women have academic spouses, and in which it is therefore difficult to recruit or retain female scientists without partner accommodation.
My partner and I are incredibly fortunate to both have landed tenure-track jobs at the same institution, and I feel strongly about using our experiences to help other people in similar situations.
I am always excited to discuss our experience on the job market with anyone, especially other couples on the job market in this field. If you are in this position, and you have questions or you want to talk strategy, please don't hesitate to reach out.
