1. What's so surprising? I decided (not THAT long ago) to look for a job
after 5 years of a post-doc fellowship followed by three years as a
research associate. My "exit" salary was approx. $35,000. My first offer
was $40,000 and I did not find it amusing. I was lucky to get another
offer which was better. But it will be quite interesting to read more
about current salaries of scientists with comparable (see below)
experience. Anyone willing to start an honest discussion as to what number
(salary) would be appropriate? Just to improve the mood of graduate
students...
2. If you have a post-doc - research associate working for you for several
years and that person needs a permanent residence status ("green card"),
that would be exactly the kind of advertisement which one needs. In such a
case you do NOT want to have any applicants.
Senior Research Associate, non-tenure track. Requires (1) Ph.D. in
