Scientific institutions play a crucial role in driving intellectual, social,and technological progress. Their capacity to innovate depends mainly on theirability to attract, retain, and nurture scientific talent and ultimately makeit available to other organizations, industries, or the economy. As researcherschange institutions during their careers, their skills are also transferred.The extent and mechanisms by which academic institutions manage their internalportfolio of scientific skills by attracting and sending researchers are farfrom being understood. We examine 25 million publication histories of 9.2million scientists extracted from a large-scale bibliographic database coveringthousands of research institutions worldwide to understand how the skills ofmobile scientists align with those present in-house. We find a clearassociation between top-ranked institutions and greater skill alignment, i.e.,the degree to which skills of incoming academics match those of theircolleagues at the institution. We uncover similar high-alignment for scientistsleaving top-ranked institutions. This type of academic alignment is morepronounced in engineering and life, health, earth, and physical sciences thanin mathematics, computer science, social sciences, and the humanities. We showthat over the past two decades, institutions generally have become more closelyaligned in their overall skill profiles. We interpret these results in terms oflevels of proactive management of the composition of the scientific workforce,diversity, and internal collaboration strategies at the institutional level.
