For the second consecutive year, Forbes has ranked Stony Brook University among America’s Best-in-State Employers, marking the fourth time it has been so honored in the rankings’ eight-year history.

Stony Brook was ranked 69th overall in New York State in 2026 among the nationwide list of 1,365 employers. No more than 100 employers from all industries are recognized in any one state.

“The recognition is a testament to the strong sense of community and shared purpose that define Stony Brook. It’s also a testament to Stony Brook’s faculty and staff who, through their work each day, make the university welcoming, and extend their warmth and deep commitment with others,” said Vice President for Human Resources Jane Savage. “This honor belongs to all of them, and I am grateful for the many ways they continue to make a difference each and every day.”

“Earning this recognition for a second time is a powerful indicator that Stony Brook’s momentum isn’t accidental, but driven by daily commitment to this institution from our faculty and staff. It also reflects that we are making improvements,” said Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration Jed M. Shivers. “I am incredibly proud to work alongside colleagues whose hard work makes Stony Brook not only an exceptional place to learn and innovate but also a rewarding place to build a career.”
