Fields of Activity
The main activities of the Dual Career Service are information and support concerning the career of the partner of a professor in the hiring process. Potential employers are the University of Salzburg itself but also other Austrian universities and Universities of Applied Sciences as well as Austrian and international companies in the region.
We also provide information about reintegration into the labor market, new career paths and continuing education. Other topics for discussion in the hiring process include housing, childcare, school, social integration, etc.
In this process we cooperate with internal and external partners.
What we do not do
Dual Career Service cannot guarantee a job for the partner. There is also no guarantee for the availability of suitable housing or adequate childcare.
The Universities of Innsbruck, Linz and Salzburg cooperate in the regional network Dual Career Services Upper Austria – Salzburg – Tyrol. The network was established in 2017 and is open to new members. This informal cooperation should lead to higher efficiency and better services.
