发帖数: 395 | 1 Husband on tenure track AP 3.5year (3rd tire univ). I did postdoc in a top
univ for 3 years, bioinformatics.
His city has no biotech industry except that only one research univ.
Over 3 years I tried very hard to find jobs there, still nothing.
Last week I gave a talk in his univ (hoping to find some non-tenure track
soft money position). Nothing came
out of it.
Now, I have 3-on site interviews from companies (1-2 more on-site interviews
to come I hope), 0 interviews
from universities. He also has 0 interviews from other universities.
What should we do? My husband quits his job to go with me to big cities? Or
I throw away my ego and work as
a contract staff in his university? |

如果没有消息的话，你去找个大公司呆着和学校找个职位其实本质差别也不大，不要想
得ego那么严重了。

position.
What happen after the contract ends in two years? Sit at home to be a full-
time housewife, after graduating
from top norch graduate school + top notch postdoc program?

发帖数: 395 | 6 It is impossible to get tenure-track in his univ for my area. The folks in
the school of medicine think I should
take a technician job, they are crazy.
There is a big difference between big company vs. a temp staff position: (1)
permanent vs. temporary (2) salary
in companies is almost twice as much as the staff job (3) with big company,
I still have potential to be a faculty
but with a technician job in the univ., there will be 0 chance to become a
faculty.

发帖数: 41 | 10 if you can find a decent job in a big city where your husband has a good chance to find either an academia or industry job, quitting his current 3rd tier school AP position should give both of you more potential.
I used to have the two-body problem too, see my experience here:

It should be written in a "two body problem" textbook.
Frankly, I truly admire you. I don't think I can make this kind of
sacrifice.
