2012-2013
Faculty Salaries Report Corrected
Richard Cleary, James W. Maxwell, and Colleen Rose
This report provides information on the distribution of 2012–2013 academic-year salaries for tenured and tenure-track
faculty at four-year mathematical sciences departments in the U.S. by the departmental groupings used in the Annual
Survey. (See page 431 for the definitions of the various departmental groupings.) Salaries are described separately
by rank. Salaries are reported in current dollars (at time of data collection). Results reported here are based on the
departments which responded to the survey with no adjustment for non-response.
Departments were asked to report for each rank the number of tenured and tenure-track faculty whose 2012–2013
academic-year salaries fell within given salary intervals. Reporting salary data in this fashion ensures confidentiality of
individual reponses, though it does mean that the reported quartiles are only approximations. The quartiles reported
have been estimated assuming that the density over each interval is uniform.
When comparing current and prior year figures, one should keep in mind that differences in the set of responding
departments may be one of the most important factors in the change in the reported mean salaries. Note this report
uses the new groupings of doctoral-granting mathematics departments recently adopted by the Joint Data Committee.
Additional detail is provided on page 431.

Departmental Groupings
Starting with reports on the 2012 AMS-ASA-IMS-MAA-SIAM Annual Survey of the Mathematical Sciences, the Joint
Data Committee has implemented a new method for grouping the doctorate-granting mathematics departments. These
departments are first grouped into those at public institutions and those at private institutions. These groups are further
subdivided based on the size of their doctoral program as reflected in the average annual number of Ph.D.’s awarded
between 2000 and 2010, based on their reports to the Annual Survey during this period. Furthermore, doctorate-granting
departments which self-classify their Ph.D. program as being in applied mathematics will join with the other applied
mathematics departments previously in Group Va to form their own group. The former Group IV will be divided into
two groups, one for departments in statistics and one for departments in biostatistics.
For further details on the change in the doctoral department groupings see the article in the October 2012 issue of
Notices of the AMS at http:www.ams.org/notices/201209/rtx120901262p.pdf.
Math. Public Large consists of departments with the highest annual rate of production of Ph.D.’s, with at least 7.0 per year.
Math. Public Medium consists of departments with an annual rate of production of Ph.D.’s, ranging between 3.9 and 6.9 per year.
Math. Public Small consists of departments with an annual rate of production of Ph.D.’s, with 3.8 per year or fewer.
Math. Private Large consists of departments with an annual rate of production of Ph.D.’s, with at least 3.9 per year.
Math. Private Small consists of departments with an annual rate of production of Ph.D.’s, with 3.8 per year or fewer.
Applied Mathematics consists of doctoral degree granting applied mathematics departments.
Statistics consists of doctoral degree granting statistics departments.
Biostatistics consists of doctoral granting biostatistics departments.
Group M contains U.S. departments granting a master’s degree as the highest graduate degree.
Group B contains U.S. departments granting a baccalaureate degree only.
Listings of the actual departments which compose these groups are available on the AMS website at www.ams.org/annualsurvey/groups.

Obtain a Special Faculty Salaries Analysis
See how the salaries of your department's tenured/tenure-track faculty compare to those in similar departments.
The only requirement is that your department must have responded to our latest Faculty Salary survey.
Send a list of your peer institutions (a minimum of 12 institutions is required) to [email protected] along with
the date the analysis is needed. (If not enough of your peer group have responded to the salary survey you'll be asked
to provide additional institutions.) A minimum of two weeks is needed to complete a special analysis.
The analysis produced includes a listing of your peer group institutions with along their salary survey response
status, a summary table including the rank (assistant, associate, and full professor), the number reported in each rank,
the 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, and mean salaries for each along with bar graphs.

About the Annual Survey
The Annual Survey attempts to provide an accurate
appraisal and analysis of various aspects of the
academic mathematical sciences scene for the use
and benefit of the community and for filling the
information needs of the professional organizations.
Every year, college and university departments in
the United States are invited to respond. The Annual
Survey relies heavily on the conscientious efforts of
the dedicated staff members of these departments
for the quality of its information. On behalf of the
Data Committee and the Annual Survey Staff, we
thank the many secretarial and administrative staff
members in the mathematical sciences departments
for their cooperation and assistance in responding to
the survey questionnaires.
The Annual Survey series, begun in 1957 by
the American Mathematical Society, is currently
under the direction of the Data Committee, a
joint committee of the American Mathematical
Society, the American Statistical Association, the
Mathematical Association of America, and the
Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
The current members of this committee are Pam
Arroway, Richard Cleary (chair), Steven R. Dunbar,
Sue Geller, Boris Hasselblatt, Ellen Kirkman, Peter
March, David R. Morrison, James W. Maxwell (ex
officio), Bart S. Ng, and William Velez The committee
is assisted by AMS survey analyst Colleen A. Rose.
In addition, the Annual Survey is sponsored by the
Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Comments or
suggestions regarding this Survey Report may be
emailed to the committee at [email protected].
