Dual Career
Dual Career Program Overview
Recruiting first-rate faculty and staff is a top priority at Cornell. With increasing frequency, top candidates have a spouse or partner who may be seeking employment as well. To assist these highly qualified couples who face the dual career challenge, The Cornell University Dual Career Program within the Recruitment and Employment Center, Division of Human Resources, offers job search assistance, information and support to a dual career spouse or partner.
Who is Eligible?
You are eligible for services through the Dual Career Program if your spouse or partner either holds or is being considered for:
- a Cornell University tenured or tenure track position;
or
- a Cornell University Band H or higher non-academic position with a term of at least two years; AND
- your spouse or partner and you are considering relocating or have relocated to the Ithaca area within the past two years and you are seeking employment in the Ithaca area for the first time.
The Dual Career Program is also available to provide assistance in targeted academic recruitment efforts or retention issues in response to a specific request by a provost, vice provost or dean, or, in the case of a non-academic recruitment effort, a vice president, or the human resource director of the college/unit.
