Assisting dual career couples key to advancing women in academia

Although a dual career job search can greatly influence the trajectory of either partner’s career, studies have shown that dual career hiring can play a large role in successfully hiring and advancing women. A Stanford University survey of 30,000 professors showed women in the academy more often face the dual career issue than men because 40 percent of female tenure-track professors are married to other academics, compared to only 34 percent of men.

Another study by Worklife Law suggests that women scientists are far more likely than male scientists to be married to other scientists, and they recommend a dual career hiring program for successful recruitment of women.

HERC’s commitment to dual career couples

Since our founding in 2000, HERC has provided tools for jobseekers and for our member institutions to systematically address dual career challenges. HERC’s work has been recognized by the American Council on Education, the American Association of University Professors, the American Psychological Association, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research and National Public Media’s “Marketplace”.
