Source: Survey of Faculty Carried Out By the Committee on Gender Differences in Careers of Science, Engineering, and
Mathematics Faculty. Rank is denoted as full (1), associate (2), or assistant (3)professor. Salaries are expressed as number of
thousands of dollars with number of respondents in parentheses. For example, 34 men at the full professor rank in biology
responded that they earn an average of $101,900 per year.
Note: Of 1404 full-time faculty members who responded, only 1,179 included salary data.
Note: The salaries expressed are 9-month salaries. Some clearly high outliers were removed. 20% of the respondents replied
back with salaries below $100 for nine months. Since it was likely that these values were actually in the thousands, these
numbers were multiplied by 1,000 for the final value rather than omitting the information.
