In our previous post in this series, we (David and Tayler) shared how we navigated the process of securing postdocs in the same city. Here, we’ll talk about how we pulled it off a second time, landing two tenure-track assistant professor positions at the same university (we’re moving to the Medical College of Wisconsin!). In particular, this post will be focused on things we did specific to our two-body problem - this is not a general post about applying for TT jobs, though many of the things we did would also apply to anyone who’s on the job market.
