There are other things that can go in a offer like teaching requirements, what % of your salary you're responsible for covering, and physical lab space that you often don't have too much control over but can try to modify. Do not feel bad about asking for nice stuff - departments often view new hires as a way to get new resources for the department, so it's also good to indicate what equipment you're requesting that you'll share with others.Įquipment aside, my offer also had an annual budget for consumables/reagents, personnel, renovations/office furnishings, salary support, and moving expenses. I'm in biochemistry, so I asked for everything from pipettes to a pH meter and a Nanodrop spectrophotometer. My biggest tip is to assume very little about resources and ask for everything you will need unless you know for sure the resource is available to you (they'll sometimes tell you this after seeing your list of equipment). Their number is now your target, and if you don't think you can make a lab with that number you might need to reconsider. You give them a budget and they tell you yes or no and if it's the latter they'll usually give you their number or suggest cuts. I don't like to call it negotiating because there isn't usually a lot of back and forth. This is a long but good resource (offer related stuff at the end):
