Partner Hire Scorecard

Which universities provide the best support for academic couples? To assist couples with their job searches, we’ve ranked every R1 institution in the United States.

The Partner Hire Scorecard is the result of a research study funded by the National Science Foundation.

Based on a rigorous review of university policies, materials, and resources, this site categorizes R1 academic institutions by their support of academic couples and offers resources for dual-career academic jobseekers. Our goals are to empower academic couples in their job searches and to encourage universities to support couples more fully.
