Hello xxx:
We're very interested in pursuing discussions with you about the position.
We would like you to provide us with a rough idea of what you would need to
come to xxx university.
best, xxx
怎么回答这封信？谈实验室建设么，还是工资，还是爱人工作问题？先行谢谢了。 |

anything that you consider important - for example, a list of equipment/big-
ticketing items, and a rough estimate on the size of the start-up package,
and/or square footage of the lab |

发帖数: 159 | 3 你可以直接问系主任，是否是讨论start up package和实验室等。
你老婆工作问题感觉早了些。除非你是senior的move。
要不然junior没啥bargain power。要么你是个star。 |

发帖数: 996 | 6 我觉得你应该先提你建实验室需要的东西，还有要求系里支持你pilot study或者start
up他们对你特别感兴趣的方向。你提的要求应该让他们特别impress到你的冲击和前瞻
眼光。等你把他们dazzle到眼睛都睁不开，求着你过去的时候，你再提你老婆和工资的
事情。

发帖数: 215 | 8 关于Title的问题：
我已经在一个烂校干了5年，这次是Tenure前重新上Market。所以我向新学校要了
Associate
Professor Title, Tenure Clock shorten 到三年。新的系主任认为我只有一次再评
Tenure
的机会，所以没必要提三年，you want as much flexibility as possible. 大家觉得
他的想法对么？还是Shorten到三年？
如果在新学校还是6年tenure的话，我自己觉得是不是Assistant Professor的title更
好一些？这
样我还可以申请NSF Career？不是说有些funding Assoc Professor不能申么？我其实
是个糊涂人，一直随大流，现在要Associate Professor Title到底有什么好处？请高
手明示。谢谢回答。 |

发帖数: 215 | 10 谢谢回答。看来不拼不行了。如果保留Assistant Professor的title呢？ |

发帖数: 2911 | 11 我觉得要Associate professor title有俩好处。一是工资比assistant professor高，
二是做五年associate professor之后就可以申请full professor，然后就没有人可以
在评职称上卡你的脖子了。

发帖数: 102 | 13 As someone who has served as a search committee chair or a member for
several faculty positions, my understanding is that an offer should be
consistent with what is posted in the job description. If the position title
is at the assistant professor rank, the department chair/head even the
college dean cannot change it without an approval from the provost through
HR. Even if the title is changed to the associate professor rank, then they
are likely to restart the search for applicants who meet the new
requirements. Otherwise, others can sue the university for not following EEO.
Second, for your own benefit, I suggest that you start from the assistant
professor rank. Your start salary will be higher than a fresh Ph.D. or
someone with just postdoc experiences. This will allow you two opportunities
to raise your salary- one when you are promoted to associate professor with
tenure (about 10% of raise), and another when you are promoted to the full
professor rank. But you may ask for 2-3 years of credits toward your
promotion with tenure. However, it should be your prerogative to rescind the
credits. Otherwise, an early promotion still requires the same credentials
as someone who has spent 5 years as an assistant professor, which puts you
in a greater pressure.
