Negotiating the Faculty Job Offer for STEM Disciplines

In this session, a panel of faculty members will discuss the negotiation process. Questions include:

• What does a typical start-up package look like? How much can you negotiate it, and how can you provide justification for asking for more?
• How much grant money are you expected to bring if you get hired?
• What are some common pitfalls in the negotiation process?
• Can you negotiate for a position for your partner or spouse? If so, when do you bring it up?

Panelists:

• Allison Ashley-Koch, PhD, Professor, Duke Molecular Physiology Institute; Medicine; and Biostatistics and Bioinformatics
• Nicholas Heaton, PhD, Associate Professor of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
• Briana Simms, PhD, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, University of Cincinnati (former Duke postdoc and 2022 DUPA president)
• John Willis, PhD, Professor of Biology

This event is part of the Academic Job Search Series sponsored by The Graduate School and the Office of Postdoctoral Services.
