| Academic offers are also separated into tenure-track faculty and postdoctoral
scholar positions. The postdoctoral positions are usually in the $20,000
to $40,000 range.
The range of offers for faculty positions also varies greatly depending on the discipline, the type of school and the location. Several offers this year were from universitites outside of the United States. These tables also offer only part of the picture as 23 of the 81 graduates who accepted academic positions did not report their salary. |
