Dual-Career & Relocation Resources
We understand that career decisions are frequently influenced by family and personal considerations. The College of Engineering & Applied Science (CEAS) Office of Faculty Advancement offers transitional support to the spouses and partners of new faculty. To best support our faculty, we have coordinated and compiled resources (described below) to assist with relocation and career exploration.
In providing these resources, please note the following disclaimers:
- We have tailored our assistance to folks who have recently relocated to the Denver/Boulder metropolitan area, who are not currently employed at CU Boulder or in the local area.
- In offering support, the CEAS Office of Faculty Advancement does not guarantee employment or job placement.
- Certain college and campus resources are contingent upon available funding.
