The annual mean and median salary analysis compiled by Pitt’s Management Information and Analysis office categorizes faculty by academic rank: professor, associate professor, assistant professor, instructor and lecturer/other.

Salaries for faculty with 12-month contracts have been converted to a nine-month equivalent using a multiplier of 0.818.

The report includes salary figures only for regular (not temporary) full-time faculty as of Oct. 31, 2007. Research associates are excluded.

Mean and median salary amounts were suppressed when the number of faculty in a category was three or fewer. The net total reflects the exclusions.
