Where the Faculty Jobs Are - Colleen Flaherty, Inside Higher Ed

New data from CUPA-HR has been released. Median salary for full-time instructors across disciplines, whose median time in that position was three years, was $58,200. Median pay for new assistant professors was $68,000. Assistant professors, who spent about three years (median) in that position, earned just slightly more, at $68,300. Associate professors spent about six years (median) at that rank, at $79,400 annually. Full professors made $106,000, with about nine years of service. While 61 percent of instructors are women, 50 percent of assistant professors are. Women make up 44 percent of associate professors and just 31 percent of full professors. Women earn $0.96 on the dollar compared to men as instructors and $0.89 on the dollar at the full professor rank. The overall pay ratio is 0.87, because women are so underrepresented at the highest-paying ranks. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/04/06/new-cupa-hr-study-looks-faculty-hiring-pay-chairs-and-adjuncts-and-more
