Journal Ranks Emory 'Best Place to Work'
November 23, 2009
Source: Community Partnership Update/December 2009

Emory scientistThis year, The Scientist magazine's readers ranked Emory University as the 5th Best Place to Work in Academia in the United States. The ranking was based on a survey of more than 2,350 life scientists with a permanent position in an academic, hospital, government or research organization. The scientists represented 94 U.S. institutions and 25 institutions from the rest of the world.

Although the University has been highly ranked in previous Best Places to Work for Postdocs rankings, Emory is a newcomer to the top 15 institutions in the Best Places to Work rankings by life scientists.

Overall, respondents focused on collaboration, team building and unique funding opportunities as important work environment factors. Emory ranked especially high in the categories of "peers" and "job satisfaction."

Respondents assessed their work environments using 38 criteria in eight areas. Results of the survey and a look at some of the Top 40 U.S. and Top 10 international institutions can be found in the November 2009 issue of The Scientist.
