Ivy league faculty salary?

I can only tell you as much as I know about my own discipline, because they publish where people got their doctorates and who hired them, but this year, there were only three people hired by Ivy League programs - two by Cornell and one by Harvard. The two who went to Cornell got their doctorates at Florida State and at the University of Southern California; the one who went to Harvard came from the University of Michigan. So none of them got their doctorates from Ivy League schools.

On the other side of this, there were seven graduates of the Ivy League schools, two from Columbia, one from Harvard, and five from the University of Pennsylvania. They went to INSEAD, the European School of Management and Technology, MIT, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the University of Texas at Dallas, Ohio State, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

We get a lot of cumulative salary information, so I could tell you the difference between public and private, or between research and balanced universities, but obviously they aren't going to divulge individual salaries, so I can't tell you how much any one school is paying. In general, private research institutions, like the Ivies, pay more than do others. However, it is usually not the MOST prestigious of these that pay the most, because they know that their reputations carry a lot of weight and people will take less money to be there. Many of these very prestigious schools give out tenure very sparingly, so it might be assumed that you would be looking for a job again in a few years. And if you were coming from Harvard or Columbia, you would be more desirable at that point than someone coming from the University of Missouri or Kansas. By the way, the salaries for those public schools are usually public, but those for private schools like the Ivies are not.

Ivy league faculty salary?

I am assuming if you graduate from an ivy league ph.d. program, you are more likely to be hired by an ivy league school if you apply to be a professor. Correct?

Does anyone know (or know where to look) how much more a professor at say The University Of Pennsylvania or Princeton makes than a...
