Working Abroad

As the global competition for academic talent has intensified, little has been known about the willingness of U.S. academics to work outside of the country.  Now, The Chronicle of Higher Education, in partnership with SimpsonScarborough, presents the findings of a survey of U.S. academics' interests in taking such positions.

More than 3,400 U.S. faculty members, administrators, staff members, and doctoral students responded to an online survey conducted by SimpsonScarborough. Their responses answer questions on the  appeal of positions abroad to American academics, including:

    •    What are the concerns, both personal and professional, that U.S. academics have about taking jobs outside of the country?

    •    What are the detailed profiles of those who are more apt to take an overseas position?

    •    Among the countries that are recruiting academics heavily, which ones are the most appealing and which ones are the least
         appealing?

    •    How can countries and universities adjust their marketing to increase their chances of success when recruiting U.S. academics?

The report, Working Abroad: Exploring the International Interests of U.S. Academics, offers valuable information and data that can improve institutions’ chances of attracting the best applicants.
