Dear friends, what would be a "normal" salary for an Asst Prof at a brick-and-mortar university in the States? I have a bunch of job interviews coming up, and don't know what to ask for. I hold a Ph.D. in Business Administration from a (Western) European university, and have a bunch of publications already, though not yet "highly ranked" (i.e. 3rd tier journals, and about two dozen book chapters and conference proceedings articles). My present position is Asst Prof already, but only very shortly, and in Europe. Do you know some realistic salary range or even sources on the Internet to check out? Thanks and Regards, M.
I think "Asst Prof at a brick-and-mortar university in the States" covers an awful lot of territory. Which discipline? Which university? In what metroplitan area are they? Etc. -=Steve=-
Hi Steve. Business Administration, only big cities, west coast, massachusetts, and florida. Decent schools, not top tier, but all AACSB accredited or alike. Cheers, M.
Thanks, mate, but hey - I don't even have an offer yet, just job interviews - and I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of native English speakers who have a big advantage... ;-( Cheers, M.
I've had plenty of instructors who were non-native speakers of English. I'd guess that if your school was good and you've been publishing you have a decent chance. -=Steve=-
...the problem is that virtually no-one in the States would know which university in Germany, Austria or Switzerland is a decent one (except for the mabye 5 or so known ones, but compared to about 300 universities overall). But anyhow, we'll see... Cheers, m.
It is very dependent on a number of factors: 1. The area - cost of living increases. 2. The school - private or public. Privates pay more, but hold much more merit to the student evaulations and have different rules on tenure. 3. School level. CC to State School to University to Ivy League. Bascially in CA the State Schools are about 70k, UC schools about 85k, and Stanford... go up from there. I received an offer from a state school in the midwest and it was 50k, but they also gave me the local real estate agent who I spoke with and could get 25 acres with a ouse and granny flat for 90k. Public schools release their data, so if you have a particular school you are interviewing with, go tot heir website, it is public information.
