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.
