Notification of a dual career issue normally comes from a department or search committee chair to his or her school’s associate dean or dean. These notifications can occur at recruitment or as a result of a retention effort. Position openings may be identified and negotiated within or between schools at the decanal level. In some schools, such as the School of Medicine, department chairs may lead the process without the dean’s office’s direct involvement. The Vice Provost for Faculty Recruitment and Retention (VPFRR) is frequently contacted by the dean’s office (or department chair; see above) to offer assistance in outreach to the spouse, sourcing positions, making the case to departments to consider spousal candidates, negotiating funding which can include cost sharing arrangements for salary from provost resources and liaising with Human Resources’ Office of Dual Career Recruitment for non-academic spousal hires.

The Office of Dual Career Recruitment (ODCR) was created to assist you with your job search. The Office of Dual Career Recruitment is part of HR Consulting Services within University Human Resources.
