Nature has launched its International Salary Survey 2014. Scientists and researchers in every country and at all career stages are welcome to take part in this third annual Survey. In fact, we encourage participation. We will use the results to identify salary and other career trends – spanning borders and multiple fields – that will inform you and your colleagues. Using data from this survey, our third in four years, we plan to capture trends over time as well.

The more people who take part in this survey, the more accurate the data will be – so we are seeking a high participation rate. We had close to 12,000 respondents in our 2012 Survey.

From the 2012 Survey,  we learned that early-career researchers around the world, especially those in academia, were anxious about grants and other funding sources. Some were despondent and wondered how they could support their research – and themselves – down the road as effects of the global recession continued to squeeze resources. It will be interesting to see whether the after-effects of the recession still continue to affect the mind-set of researchers.

The deadline for this survey is 30 June 2014. Click below to enter.

Participation is entirely anonymous; responses will be analysed in aggregate only and will never be associated with individual participants.

All respondents will have the option of entering into a prize draw to win one of three £100/$150 Amazon.com vouchers.
