kaguya1982 Re: Mobilnosc a "sparowanie" 14.05.10, 13:56 Maybe it's the long hours in the lab. Maybe it's the allure of putting heads together to analyze data. Maybe it's those sexy lab coats. Whatever the reason, scientists appear to find each other attractive as romantic partners. Women scientists, in fact, are likelier than their counterparts in any other academic area to pair off with a departmental colleague. A Stanford University survey of 3000 faculty members at 13 major research universities found 83% of the female scientists partnered with members of their own discipline. "I jokingly tell my graduate students, be careful who you partner with," says Londa Schiebinger, lead author of the study, titled Dual-Career Academic Couples: What Universities Needs to Know , and director of Stanford's Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research. "When women are professionals, they come much more often than men as part of a dual-career couple." Thanks to another female predilection revealed by the survey, the ramifications of romantic choices often spread from love life to work life. "The top reason women refuse new job opportunities is that their partners are not offered satisfactory positions" in the new location, the study reports. Although the data cover only tenure-track faculty members and the report takes the viewpoint of institutions competing to recruit topflight talent, the findings nonetheless provide useful insights for those who have not Odpowiedz Link

"A candidate walks a tightrope between not mentioning it too soon and ... not being dishonest and giving the university the opportunity to respond. It's just the reality today. ... We found in our survey that most people will say that they have a partner sometime during the interview. But I personally still advise my graduate students to not mention it until they have an offer." Waiting may complicate matters for the university, but it prevents candidates from hurting their chances by introducing "additional baggage" early on, Schiebinger says. It's important to think strategically because, even though the application process will disappoint many aspirants to academic careers, "some graduate students and postdocs will get jobs" and have to negotiate the partner issue with a university, Schiebinger says. That's why the Clayman Center is currently developing material for graduate students entering the academic job market. In the meantime, she advises aspiring academics to read the report, which is available free on the Internet, so that they can get the benefit of "knowing what is the process, how do faculty jobs come about, how do universities work, who should I turn to, who is going to broker the deal in the university, so who should I be talking to there. And when, absolutely, should I mention a partner?" Universities' current willingness to consider accommodating dual-career couples Odpowiedz Link

kaguya1982 Re: Mobilnosc a "sparowanie" 14.05.10, 15:05 No ale na jaki czas? Rok lub dwa na podstdocka? Potem chyba tylko trudniej znalesc cos zbieznego geograficznie. Moj promotor z usa mial taka wlasnie umowe wiazana - on+zona. Oczywiscie on na tenure track, a zona na wykladowce. Odpowiedz Link
eeela Re: Mobilnosc a "sparowanie" 14.05.10, 15:36 Ale tutaj nie ma jak negocjowac z uczelniami zatrudnienia z uwzglednieniem partnera. Zwlaszcza jak sie pochodzi z dwoch roznych dyscyplin. > No ale na jaki czas? Rok lub dwa na podstdocka? Potem chyba tylko trudniej > znalesc cos zbieznego geograficznie. Zalozenie jest niestety takie, ze - poniewaz jestem ogolnie rzecz biorac bardziej 'zatrudnialna' jako obywatelka UE - to pierwszenstwo w wybieraniu lokacji nalezy sie pracy chlopa, nie mojej. Jak on znajdzie cos nieco bardziej stalego, to ja zaczynam szukac czegos w okolicy. Ale to dopiero jak samej mi sie uda choc jakis grant czy postdoka zlapac na rok czy dwa, zeby nie przesiedziec calego zycia w jakiejs administracji i tracic powoli szanse na cokolwiek akademickiego. Zreszta, to wszystko sa niezwykle luzne plany i na razie nikt nic nie wie. Odpowiedz Link
