    37. 37 NEGOTIATING: What items might be negotiated? Personal: Salary and compensation, moving, housing assistance, day care, parking, salary advance, spouse/partner appointments or other dual-career couple issues, individual institutional issues Start-up Funds Space Start date Departmental/institutional support items Release time Teaching load requirements; teaching assistants Service requirements Tenure clock, contract renewal dates Graduate program affiliations Training grant slots

    38. 38 NEGOTIATING: HOW should I negotiate? 1. Know what you must have before you interview 2. Get the job offer; respond positively but do not commit; ask for something in writing 3. Decide if it is a good overall fit. Can you succeed in that department? Do you want the offer? Is it a top choice? 4. If so, expect to ask for more but choose items wisely Its a conversation about how you will succeedIts not good for either party to only go back and forth once. -Senior research faculty, large biomedical instiution As a rule of thumb you can expect to win roughly four important points of negotiation in your final offer. -Boss and Eckert, Sciencecareers.org

    39. 39 NEGOTIATING: HOW should I negotiate? 5. Prepare private list: Make a prioritized list of what you want that is not provided in the offer. What are the deal-breakers without which you will fail? 6. Prepare public list: If asked to provide a detailed budget The more detailed the budget, the more credible 7. ASK ABOUT limitations and customs in the process 8. Begin negotiating: Start out with positive and enthusiastic comment, then ask for what you must have 9. As you go back and forth, ask about or suggest win-wins Equipment: If you buy it, Ill maintain it and manage it 10. Negotiate with integrity this is not an ego trip
