Dalhousie University is No. 1 — again.
In its annual poll, The Scientist magazine has ranked the Halifax university first in the international category as the best place to work outside the U.S. in academia for life scientists.
"Superior peer relations, along with research resources, pay and tenure were among the characteristics cited by surveyed academics as setting their institutions apart," said a news release issued Tuesday by the university.
The annual poll is divided into two categories. One deals with only American schools, and the international category involves the rest of the post-secondary schools in the world.
The University of Nottingham and the University of Helsinki were ranked second and third, respectively, on the list of top 10 places to work in academia.
"We’re delighted with these results," Tom Traves, Dalhousie University president, said in the release.
"We’re proud of our record as a world-class research institution, and a big part of our success in this area lies directly at the feet of the quality researchers working here."
