 * Please specify as well candidate status and job level: ABD, Post-Doc, TT, non-TT, starting Assistant, advanced Assistant, Associate, etc. since these factors influence salary levels too.


 * Would be interesting to see gender given that everyone says women receive lower initial offers and are less likely to negotiate!


 * For example: Research I, TT starting assistant prof., $54k, 2/3, midwest, small city, negotiated up from $53k.
