An annual survey of college faculty pay shows faculty in "hard-to-hire" disciplines such as engineering, accounting, physics, and computer science continue to command higher-than-average salaries, while disciplines recently at the bottom of the pay scale remain there. At all ranks except full professor, private college faculty earned more. (MSE)

Examines trends in participation of women in science and engineering over the past decade and estimates changes during the 1980s. Focuses on educational attainment, employment status and sector, and salaries, and indicates a gap in salaries and career opportunities between men and women. (JN)

The job situation for new chemical engineers with bachelor's degrees is continuing to reflect the gradual improvement that began in 1983. However, companies are looking for graduates with technical expertise as well as marketing, sales, or communications skills. Smaller classes may lead to shortages of chemical engineering graduates in the future.…

As the debate over nuclear safety continues, the job market remains healthy for nuclear engineers. The average salary offered to new nuclear engineers with bachelor's degrees is $27,400. Salary averages and increases compare favorably with other engineering disciplines. Various job sources in the field are noted. (JN)

Presents in tabular form chemists' salaries. Reviews salaries of chemists with B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, chemical engineers, college faculty, industrial chemists, women, and employment status of chemists surveyed. Indicates relatively low unemployment and that medial salary for chemists has increased 11% between March 1980 and March 1981. (JN)

This 1980 profile provides an overview of employment stability and change among a small random sample of U.S. and Canadian members of The American Institute of Physics (AIP) member societies: The American Physical Society; Optical Society of America; Acoustical Society of America; The Society of Rheology; American Association of Physics Teachers;…

Highlights National Research Council report ("Climbing the Ladder II: An Update on the Status of Doctoral Women Scientists and Engineers"). Indicates that, although supply of women with doctorates in science is up 50 percent in the past four years, salary and tenure problems are continuing. (JN)

Provides results (in table format) of a 1982 survey, focusing on engineering faculty positions (filled and unfilled), engineering faculty characteristics (age, discipline, age/discipline), graduate student characteristics, salaries, faculty recruitment, and industry/school faculty mobility. Includes the complete survey instrument used. (JN)
