The purpose of this study was to seek to understand the mobility patterns of faculty members, with particular attention to foreign-born faculty members who work at 4-year colleges and universities in the United States. Examining data from the Survey of Doctorate Recipients, we looked at the mobility patterns of faculty members who held tenure-track faculty positions in 2003 and who responded to the survey again in 2013 (a 10-year time period). After examining different types of mobility, we found that the only significant difference was that, all things being equal, foreign-born faculty members were less likely to move into administration than U.S.-born faculty members. Foreign-born faculty members were no different from their U.S.-born counterparts in their mobility to other universities or to business/industry.

了解教授的职业流动性：外国出生的身份重要吗？

本研究的目的是试图了解教职员工的流动模式，特别关注在美国四年制大学工作的外国出生教职员工。通过检查博士学位获得者调查的数据，我们查看了 2003 年担任终身教职教师职位并在 2013 年（10 年时间段）再次回应调查的教职员工的流动模式。在考察了不同类型的流动性之后，我们发现唯一的显着区别是，在所有条件相同的情况下，外国出生的教职员工比美国出生的教职员工更不可能进入行政部门。外国出生的教员与美国出生的教员在前往其他大学或商业/行业的流动性方面没有什么不同。
