Someone posted this on an old thread a couple years ago (copy/paste):
Long-time lurker here. As an attending at a major academic medical center, I can provide some specific data. I did not interview
at all these places; much of this info is derived from experiences of colleagues a few years ago so I won't claim total accuracy.
Assistant Professor salaries (on clinical track) - note that research track positions will generally pay less
Minnesota - 240K
Mayo - 230-250K
Loyola - 250K
Rush - 250-300K
Michigan - 170K
Indiana - 240K
Ohio State - 240K
WashU (St. Louis) - 180K
Saint Louis University - 280K
Kansas - 300K
UT Southwestern - 250K
Penn - 180K
UCLA - 350-400K clinical track, $210 research track
If anyone wants to dispute or add to these, feel free.
As a general rule, I think, the 'top' places pay worse although there is definitely geographic variation.
I'd be willing to bet that these salaries have gone up anywhere from 30-60K on average since that post.
This information could be helpful if you're trying to work at an academic center. Not that they will negotiate with you, but at least you have an idea of whether or not you're getting totally lowballed.
