'In the end we figured that if we can survive cooking together—one of us is a recipe stickler, the other improvises wildly—we could handle adjoining labs.' This week's ScienceWorkingLife:
Our postdoctoral fellow came by our offices distraught, seeking advice. His wife’s adviser was moving to another institution, leaving her in urgent need of a new postdoctoral position. To make matters more complicated, she would soon give birth and needed a position that offered some paid maternity leave. We listened sympathetically and suggested some options, most of which the couple had already considered and discarded.
Then, at midcareer, we unexpectedly received offers from a new institution that offered a rare opportunity: two positions that included startup packages, an exciting scientific environment, and adjacent lab and office space in a new, open-floor-plan research center. We had already begun to collaborate, but had some reservations about spending all our working hours in neighboring labs and offices.
So, 3 years after beginning our experiment of working more closely together, we realized this could be the solution to our trainee’s problem. We decided to offer his spouse a position.
