Dual Career Assistance Program
The Office of the Provost’s Dual Career Assistance Program is designed to assist partners of newly hired tenured and tenure-eligible faculty obtain employment at the University of Cincinnati. Assistance is provided for partners who qualify for faculty and staff positions
The Office of the Provost will provide partial support for salaries, typically on a matching basis from the home department or college, and for a limited time, typically two years. Dual Career awards will be made when units have met the following requirements:
- Demonstrated unit needs
- Support for the hire from the department or school as evidenced by an affirmative majority vote from members of the unit
- Endorsement by the dean of the college
- Meets qualifications for the position being sought
The intent of this program is to provide bridge funding to support dual career hires that will be fully funded by the candidates’ respective colleges, schools or departments within two years.
Newly hired faculty seeking employment opportunities for a partner are encouraged to discuss the Dual Career Assistance Program with the hiring unit early in the process.
Additional information, including guidelines and requirements for department administrators, can be accessed via Bearcats Landing intranet at my.uc.edu (UC login required). Visit the Office of the Provost site.
