‘The Scientist’ names Stanford one of the best places to work

July 14th, 2010

In the eighth annual Best Places to Work in Academia survey of The Scientist, STANFORD is ranked 13th out of 119 possible U.S. academic and non-commercial organizations for employment.

Through the survey, The Scientist purports to determine how tenured, permanent or tenure-track life scientists at academic and non-commercial institutions rate the quality of their experience in their place of employment. Respondents were asked to assess their working environments by indicating their level of agreement with 38 statements in eight different areas, as well as indicating which of those statements were most important to them. There were more than 2,300 qualified responses and 119 institutions represented.
