Research Support for Partners/Spouses

Many of our members’ partners/spouses are themselves academics, so we want to make sure their research can continue while in residence at the Institute. Accordingly, partners/spouses are offered a variety of computing and library privileges throughout their stay.

Computing Resources for Partners/Spouses

The Institute for Advanced Study employs numerous IT specialists who provide services to all four schools on campus. As the partner/spouse of a member, you are entitled to a variety of computing and IT support services, including:

  • High-speed Internet/Internet2 access
  • Access to wired and wireless network in housing
  • Access to IAS-Scholar secure wireless network from campus and in housing

Additional services may be available upon request. For more information, visit the IAS computing website at http://www.ias.edu/campus/computing.

Library Resources for Partners/Spouses

The Institute is home to two main libraries – the Historical Studies-Social Science Library and the Math-Natural Sciences Library – as well as the Shelby White and Leon Levy Archives Center and a growing digital library. Through an agreement with Princeton University, we also have access to all of their vast library resources (physical and digital), which can be brought to campus by courier upon request.
