| May 29, 2012 at 8:08 | comment | added | mythealias | As Suresh pointed out it is easier to negotiate other parts of startup package. One of my professors (from Princeton) pointed out that you can expect/ask for something like (to name a few) funding to support 2-3 graduate students for at least two years, funding to set up your lab, funding for initial research project, funding to attend international conferences/meetings with sponsors. Also some universities pay varies based on number of courses you teach. | |

| May 29, 2012 at 7:29 | comment | added | JeffE | Private universities usually have more flexibility and it might be harder to get the range of salaries — But you can mine comparable ranges from public institutions (like mine and Suresh's). Salaries at public and private universities are not that different. (In fact, when I was on the job market n years ago, salaries at public schools tended to be slightly higher.) | |
