Rankings place UNL among America's best - Academic workplace in top 10

For the second year in a row, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln earned a spot in the top 10 list for The Scientist's "Best Places to Work in Academia" survey. UNL was placed fourth by the magazine in its online survey.

The results and an accompanying story appeared in the Nov. 8 issue.

"The U.S. institutions that made the top-10 list in The Scientist's 2004 Best Places to Work in Academia survey represent an interesting mix of small and large academic and private research centers from across the country. The characteristics that make them great places to work, however, are surprisingly similar," the report said.

"While some campuses on the top-10 list received lower scores on questions related to salaries, most survey respondents didn't consider those questions as important when evaluating the quality of their workplaces.

The top institutions did, however, score highly in areas that most life scientists consider crucial including research facilities and respect for peers."

The Scientist's "Best Places to Work in Academia" top 10 in order were: California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, UNL, Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., the University of Delaware, the University of Michigan, Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, the Wadsworth Center in Albany and Troy, N.Y., and Indiana University.
