Seventh Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey
The Seventh Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey results are now available on the SOT Web site, providing employment and salary information based on responses from 3,424 toxicologists. This survey was conducted by Shayne Gad, Gad Consulting, and the Society of Toxicology (SOT) Career Resource and Development (CRAD) Committee. In addition to SOT, the organizations that participated in this salary survey include the Academy of Toxicological Sciences, American Board of Toxicology, American College of Toxicology, Environmental Mutagen Society, Safety Pharmacology Society, Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and the Teratology Society.
Sixth Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey
Fifth Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey
The
2001 Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey was conducted as a joint
project by the American College of Toxicology and the Society of
Toxicology. In addition to the two parent organizations, 20 others
(the Teratology Society, the Association of Government Toxicologists,
and 17* Regional Chapters of the Society of Toxicology) supported
the effort by providing mailing labels for their membership.
Fourth Triennial
Toxicology Salary Survey and
Trends in the Toxicology Job Market
The 1998 Triennial Toxicology Salary Survey
was conducted by Gad Consulting Services as a joint project of the
American College of Toxicology and the Society of Toxicology. Surveys
were mailed to members of those two organizations as well as members
of 19 other toxicology professional groups. One-third of the surveys
mailed were returned (2016). Salaries had increased in the interval
since the last study, with the biggest differences by employer rather
than geographic location.
AAAS
Salary and Job Survey
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
has completed a second salary and satisfaction survey of U.S.-based
life scientists who belong to AAAS. They have found a slower rise
in salaries and a younger, more international pool of life scientists
than in the previous survey. Of the 8,000 respondents, a majority
were under 50, 29% were postdocs, and two-thirds work in academia.
The first AAAS survey was released in June 2001, the first
ever salary survey for the life sciences. Almost 9,000
responded, providing
information about salary, their jobs, their careers, and recommendations
for preparation of future scientists.

Job
Market Survey
While public concern for adverse effects
of drugs and chemicals remains high, corporations are down-sizing
to become “leaner” and more competitive, and universities
and governmental agencies are under extraordinary pressures to
do
more with less. What, then does the future hold for job opportunities
in toxicology? What areas of specialized knowledge or expertise
will be in demand? Are the graduate programs giving students the
knowledge and skills they need to prepare them for the job market,
now and in the future? In April of 1996, the Placement Committee
was asked to conduct a survey to try to begin to get answers
to
these important questions. The results were published in the Spring,
1997 Communiqué.
Toxicologist
Supply and Expertise Survey
In November 1996, the Placement Committee
was asked to conduct a survey to identify past, present, and future
BS, MS, Ph.D. and post-doc toxicology candidate availability. Surveys
were sent to about 120 academic institutions with toxicology programs.
This information, when combined with prior SOT surveys on the evolving
job market, provides useful information to job applicants, educators,
and employers.
