That salary is essentially non-negotiable. It was a dealbreaker for another applicant offered the job, so I wonder if they are trying to not surprise anyone this year. I liked the people and the area, just didn't work out for me. I was also concerned about grad stipends and insurance. The department chair appears to have left soon after that search failed after only ~2 years there. [link & subject updated per commenter's request -AP] 3) Same - I was offered $62,900 which is not affordable in that area unless your spouse makes similar or more than that. It was a nice area, strange vibes in the department and the chair leaving (who is now in Illinois) was also odd. Apparent falling enrollment didn't help the atmosphere, even though people were very friendly and wanted the place to succeed. | |||

Senior Lecturer salary from £42,978 per annum. 2) uhhhhh I'm not normally one to complain about pay, but that's lower than what most postdocs get, even in the UK. No wonder lecturers are on strike... 3) UK immigration fees are an order of magnitude higher than other countries in Europe I've lived in. It's really hard here (UK) if you're coming from outside. 4) Does anyone know if this salary meets the minimum requirement for foreigners to apply for a skilled work visa? 5) @4 yes, but as @3 mentioned, the cost is quite a burden and many unis don't like to sponsor foreigners for financial reasons 6) Is it true that UK universities provide food/meals for faculty? I think that would effectively double the salary, if true. (7) Former post-doc at Lincoln here, and I know the Faculty well. To answer 6, no, you don't generally get food at UK universities - Oxford and Cambridge colleges will give you free meals, but that's very much an exception. Regarding pay, you would be able to negotiate somewhere into the Senior Lecturer scale, around £46k perhaps, which won't make you rich but is certainly enough to live on, and Lincoln is a cheap city by UK standards. 8) review date changed to 1/5/2024 9) On what planet would providing meals "double the salary"? 10) @9, on the planet that's serving caviar and filet mignon for lunch every day. My off the cuff calculation would put a year of free cafeteria lunches at ~4% of salary at best, but I'm not aware of any unis that even do that (7 again) As I mention above, some Oxford and Cambridge colleges provide a free meal allowance to their Fellows, but it's very much the exception at UK universities. 11) Review date needs to be updated to 1/5 | 1 | |

We really are looking for a new faculty member in any area of biology that is committed to teaching excellence and is excited to develop a competitive MS-level research program and engage undergraduates in meaningful research activities. This position is one of several positions that will be searched in the coming year to replace multiple retiring faculty and grow the Biology Department. We are an AAUP Union institution with an incredible retirement/benefits package. This is a 9 mo. tenure-track position with a typical teaching load that includes 2 courses per semester. Happy to answer question! 1) As this is a 9 month role, what is the expected salary and do most professors take seasonal jobs in the summer or..? 2) @1, almost every tenure track professor job in the US is a 9 month role. You might be able to get extra money by summer teaching or grants, but usually people still work on their own research in the summer in order to meet tenure expectations. 3) @2 I think you might be misinformed. Many TT jobs are in fact 12 month appointments. It varies greatly from institution to institution. 4) The vast majority are 9/10 month contracts but virtually all of these have an option to pay out over 12 months. @1 in regards to salary, starting is ~ $64,000 for the 9 mo with NMU contributing 15.46% towards your retirement (~$10,000 annually). 5) @1, most TT jobs are 9 months paid over 12 months, super standard, so that you can get NSF summer salary 6) Yikes, 64k is so low! 7) Lower than most postdocs, but if housing is super-cheap in this area then it may be fine. I'm not familiar with it though 8) lol that would be a raise for me and I'm a third year asisstant prof :-( x4 (second year but same!) 9) @1 thanks for all the information! Could you please clarify the '2 courses per semester' teaching load? The faculty contract says 24 credit hours per year (which I generally assume to be ~4 courses per semester). Wondering how you count '2 courses per semester' to get to 12 credits or if I am mistaken. 10) I am not associated with this search in any way, but consider cost of living - a $64,000 salary in Marquette, MI is equivalent to ~$150,000 in NYC. Plus a 15% retirement contribution is very generous. My impression is that salary could go very far in that location. 11) I wouldn't consider it generous. Look at the homes available around here on Zillow. There's not much available and much of it is really expensive or in disrepair. 12) @11 its the yoop dude. rural af. but lakeshore properies are inexpensive relative to the mitten (and elsewhere for that matter. 13) Amazing place to live, but yeah, that salary is somewhat low. 14) Well hell, I'll go ahead and apply if everyone's talking themselves out of it. Lake Superior is my favorite place on Earth x2 15) @14 shhhhhhh don't let the word out on how nice it is. Let them keep thinking its a frozen wasteland up there. x2 15) I'm also curious about the teaching load re:9. I was under the impression that NMU had higher teaching loads than 2 courses per semester. Along those lines, how are labs counted towards teaching load? 16) Search committee member here: @15 and @9: in the Biology Department we teach 2 classes/semester because we have graduate students (and undergraduates working in our labs), which brings us up to 24 contact hours per year. Faculty in the Biology Department has the lowest teaching load at NMU. Faculty typically teach the lectures and we have TAs teaching the lab sections and grading labs. During your first year you get a reduced teaching load (1 class per semester) and then in your second year you teach the full load (2 classes per semester). 17) @ committee member: Can you speak to how references will be used for this applciation. I see names and contact info is required for three references. Will referees be contacted and expected to supply a letter to complete this application? | 1 | |

WTU can be bought out usually through funding by the college or external grants. -> anyone knows what this means? Sounds like a lot. 2) WTU = weighted teaching unit; usually 1 WTU per hour of lecture and 2 WTU's for each 3 hour lab. So a class with 3 hours of lecture where you taught one lab would be 5 WTU's. 1) Thanks! 2) I will also add that my CSU only does a 3 WTU course release for the first year (from 12 to 9), so 6 for the first two years is nice 3) so that would be 1.5-two classes per semester the first two years and 2.5-3 after that? That seems a lot for a research university 4) Not sure what you are thinking of in terms of a research university, but all of the Cal States have a pretty high teaching load. They are not R1s. 3) I had seen it as a R2 and was expecting less teaching - my bad 4) the default teaching load for a cal state is 4/4 (that's the 12 WTUs). If your dept chair is good at scheduling, that means you're spending about 10hr per week face to face with students. If your dept chair is unkind with scheduling and tries to absolutely maximize teaching hours (speaking from experience), you can easily wind up with 14-16 hr face to face with students via the use of labs and activity sections which do not carry as many WTUs per hour as lecture. Source: I worked at a cal state for a while and was on a curriculum committee so I saw all the ways WTUs get assigned to different class types | ||

"biophysics, cell and developmental biology, evolution and genome biology". 2) How do these compare to CNRS positions in salary and conditions? 3) "Upon their selection, successful applicants will then be expected to obtain research funding as well as a position with the CNRS or Université Paris Cité": Is the research position with CNRS or UPC just a formality if you get the group leader position or would obtaining such positions be challenging? 4) Just a guess but this page doesn't even exist in French. So maybe that's the Institute trying to promote access to relevant foreign applicants by providing mentorship through the process of being employed in the CNRS or UPC (which is rather obscure, coming from abroad). The process will remain competititve but they will be hands on guiding the candidates. Maybe? 5) From what I understand in this ad, the selected candidate will have to apply for a CNRS position to obtain a salary. CNRS is very competitive and will not hire older candidates (~40+), although they will not say it because it is illegal. While there are other temporary grants that could pay for the group leader's salary for a few years, normally: no CNRS = no lab in France. 6) How is this even a job if you have to apply for another (competitive) job to get salary? I'm so confused. 7) it is very complicated to apply to the CNRS from abroad/as a foreigner, they are basically proposing to hold your hand through the process if you work in that area of expertise (that's how I understand it). 5) @7 Exactly. @6, yes, the French research system is odd. You basically need to secure two positions: one at the institution, and another one at the CNRS for the salary. The institute will provide lab space to the chosen candidate and help the candidate with the CNRS application. There is no guarantee that the CNRS will choose the same candidate, though. 8) This seems similar to the fellowship-to-faculty opportunities in the UK. If you get a big external grant, they let you start a lab. 5) @8 I am not aware of the UK system, but I think it's different as the CNRS is not a grant, it's your position and salary. It seems like in the UK you could start a lab as a fellow and THEN apply for funding. In France, if you don't land a CNRS position FIRST, you cannot even start your lab, as the institute will not pay for your salary, only the CNRS will (except for a few exceptions as stated above). | ||

Cost of living is very high. Many professors only afford to live in faculty housing (condos/apartments). If you want to own a home, Hawaii is not the place to do it. Awesome department otherwise! 5) Anyone with info on whether the search failed due to internal issues or the candidates? That is should I bother to reapply if I had a zoom interview last year? x3 6) I have absolutely no info, but would encourage y'all to reapply (assuming you have new and improved application packets, maybe don't try again with the exact same materials) 7) Not sure about this search, but a different biology position at UH failed because they didb't feel like they had a satisfactory fit and/or ran out of time to expand the pool | 8 | |
