Academic Salary Survey by Gender
J. Lynn Palmer, ASA Director of Programs
Table 1 summarizes salary information for full-time academic faculty in statistics departments by title (rank), years in rank, and gender based on a nine-month salary.
Table 2 provides similar information for full-time academic faculty in biostatistics departments, but is based on a 12-month salary. These results were published in slightly more detail for years in rank, but not separated by gender in the January 2014 issue of Amstat News. The same categories are used here except for Professors in Statistics Departments, due to small numbers for females.
Although no analyses were made, salaries appear similar between males and females who are at the same rank and years of experience. However, what is striking is the smaller number of females at the Associate Professor and Professor ranks.
Only research universities were included in these data due to low numbers for colleges. Some percentile estimates are not included due to small numbers.
