Professors of Reddit, how much money do you make?
I currently work as an adjunct professor. I make a good amount of money per hour, but not so much for the year. I'm considering taking a full-time job, but I have no idea what a good salary would be. Can you help me out, so I know how to negotiate?
I know these things vary by academic field and region, so knowing what you do and where you are would be helpful. I'll start:
Current Job
- Location: large city in the northeast US
- Institution: medical school of a large university
- Job Description: adjunct assistant professor
- Responsibilities: teaching basic science courses
- Salary: $150/hour
Future Job
- Location: large city in the northeast US
- Institution: medical school of a large university
- Job Description: assistant professor
- Responsibilities: director of one course, teaching in some others, other administrative stuff, minimal to no research
- Salary: ??? per year + benefits
PS: I found this paper with Stanford salaries in 2009. Page 5 has med school faculty salaries. My job would fall in group H, and the salary range for those jobs is $66,000 to $149,000. Such a wide range!
Edit: I'm an currently an assistant, not an associate, adjunct professor. Wishful thinking!
