About Salary Survey

Each year until 2017, The Scientist collected data via a Web-based survey on salaries throughout the life sciences. We compare incomes in different sectors, in various disciplines, and at different points in one’s career. In 2013, we opened up our survey to our international readership, inviting researchers from around the world to contribute their data. Results from The Scientist’s recent surveys are below.
