Salary Survey of Biostatistics and Other Biomedical Statistics Departments.

1. Salary Survey of Biostatistics and Other
Biomedical Statistics Departments
AMSTAT - JANUARY 2010 146 VIEWS NO COMMENT
Below are results from the fall 2009
Salary Survey of Biostatistics and Other
Biomedical Statistics Departments and
Units conducted by the ASA. All salary
figures are for a 12-month period. As in
the past, previous salary survey data
have been included for comparative
purposes. The estimates are based on
responses from 30 departments, plus a
few individuals who responded to the
survey. Questions regarding the
tabulations should be addressed to Keith
Crank, ASA research and graduate
education manager, at keith@amstat.org.
If you would like your biostatistical unit to participate in future surveys, also contact
Crank.
Beginning with the 2009 survey, gender data were collected along with the salary
information. Table 2 provides quartiles for the groups in Table 1, separated by
gender. (Note: There were insufficient data to separate starting assistant
professors by gender. Also, the counts in Table 2 are smaller than the
corresponding counts in Table 1, because some respondents did not provide
gender information.)
In 2009, we continued to collect data on nonfaculty academic statisticians and
biostatisticians. Table 3 provides information about the salaries for full-time,
nonfaculty, academic biostatisticians. (There were not enough responses for
nonfaculty, academic statisticians to provide summary statistics.) Quartiles are
provided for categories that have nine or more respondents. The 90th percentile is
provided for any category that has 19 or more respondents. All percentiles are
rounded to the nearest $100. (The information for three people with master’s
degrees did not include years since highest degree. They are included in the row
marked “All.”)
