Hello,
I am currently a Research Biomechanist who has worked in a research oriented movement analysis lab for over 10 years, and hold a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering. I am currently in the process of transitioning to a new job in a new lab and was wondering if I could poll the readers of BIOMCH-L to get some information on salary ranges as they apply to Lab Engineers/Managers of labs similar to these? The HR department of my new job is looking for justification of my salary request, and since I often see job postings for these positions on BIOMCH-L, I naturally thought this would be a great place to ask the question.
I understand that just raising the question of salary is a very personal topic for many, so I can appreciate the desire to keep certain information such as the names of persons or universities confidential. If this is true, perhaps along with salary ranges in your responses you could list a general location, such as State/Country, as well as some information on the overall size or of the university? I say this because I assume someone working at a tear 1 research institution in a large metropolitan area would probably be making a larger salary then someone working the same position at a much smaller rural college.
Any information you could contribute would be greatly appreciated. A similar question was raised back in 2000 on this forum, and it sounded from the responses like there were several people interested in the same information. So I think this information would not just benefit myself, but also be helpful to other institutions and job seekers alike.
Thank you.
