Readers of The Scientist magazine ranked Georgia Tech as one of the top 15 places to work in academia in the United States.
"Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of people across this institution, Georgia Tech is considered a leader within the University System of Georgia in delivering high-quality customer service. Those efforts were validated by the readers of The Scientist. A well-managed institution was considered one of the most important factors in the ranking," said President Wayne Clough.
Tech ranked 11th in the survey, which The Scientist conducted by posting a Web-based questionnaire and inviting readers and registrants on its site to respond. Participants had to identify themselves as tenured or tenure-track life scientists working in academia or other noncommercial research organizations. More than 1,600 responses were evaluated. The magazine ranked 58 institutions from the United States, seven from Canada and 10 from the United Kingdom.
"I'm especially pleased to learn that our faculty think so highly of Georgia Tech as a place to teach and conduct research," said Provost Gary Schuster. "We strive to create an environment that nurtures young faculty and encourages creative thinking from our faculty so they can produce innovative research that will enrich their fields, their students and the Institute."
