Whether to indicate "job sharing" option in application I am applying for a job that in the call mentions that the university supports &quot;job sharing and advancement of dual-career couples&quot;.  My partner and I are applying both to that position (we have similar qualifications).  Should we indicate in our respective application letters that we are interested in the job sharing option in any way?  Or is that something that will come up later in the process?
What if one of us gets invited for a job interview but not the other?  If one of us is a stronger candidate, might it hurt the other if we indicate the job sharing option?  (We also have coauthored papers together, so reviewers should find out pretty quickly that we're related in some way.)
Any input would be much appreciated.
Difficult question. Here are my thoughts, too long for a comment.
The fact that the university explicitly supports job sharing suggests that asking about it in your particular case would make sense.
It is possible that the explicit support is just pro forma. Can you find out whether there are any couples presently sharing a job? Do you have any contacts at the school to ask informally?
In your response to  @Buffy 's comment, you say you'd be OK if just one of you gets the job. Then I'd concur in waiting.
Speaking personally from my experience on hiring committees, I would appreciate knowing this information early, particularly the fact that one job would be acceptable even if two were preferable. For me it would strengthen the application(s).
