Post by means deceive on Dec 18, 2009 14:29:26 GMT -5
I have no doubt that Stanford pays above average, but the above post's link's averages mean little for sociologists considering they include salaries in B-schools, the sciences, and social sciences that are valued more than sociology (like economics).
I looked up my own school's average for a starting assistant on the Chronicle's site and it was $15,000 more than I started with and my starting offer was highly competitive compared with the "super-star" colleague that I knew on the market the same year.

Those are average salaries for the entire rank, so it includes 5th and 6th year assistant professors as well, so I know it "deceives." But I think it gives people a better idea, without burdening anyone with disclosing personal information regarding their negotiations.

At lest they had the courtesy to tell us--and gave us the guys name so we could look up his CV and note that he doesn't know the difference between an editorial and an op-ed, even if he does have a first-authored ASR pub. Just saying . Sounds bitter to me. Just saying. Well I was kidding--not about the fact that he doesn't know the difference, but in the implication that it mattered--his CV is definitely better than mine. My s.o. works for the opinion pages of a newspaper, and not knowing the distinction is a pet peeve. And if you want to get REALLY picky, despite nearly having a PhD, I didn't put an appostrophe in guys (should have been guy's), so there. I suppose I am getting more bitter as this goes on--chose the name much earlier in the process. In any case, I hope Stanford and their man are a great match, which I mean in all seriousness.

You also misspelled "least." Just saying.
But in all seriousness, thanks for alerting me to the difference between op-ed and editorial. I had no idea.

Stanford has also made an offer for the race position and he has accepted.
