- I have a general question concerning husband/wife teams obtaining individual
- tenure-track positions at a given dept.
-
- I know of a case where the husband had a tenure track position, and to this
- day the wife has yet to be offered such a position in that dept. even though
- openings have come and gone for which she would have been perfectly suited.
- Their rationale is that they have one of the 2 in the couple, so the other one
- is undoubtedly going to be present as well (she has had a non-tenure, research
- scientist position for quite a while there) so theyd rather invest their
- resources in a new aquisition (quote, unquote, I cant do quotes on this keyboar
- d!!) to their dept. Ironically enough, it has often been her who gets her
- grants renewed or new ones approved, instead of her husband...
-
- How typical/exceptional a case is this??? Any experiences on this subject you
- all out there might want to share??
-
-
- Thanks in advance,
