On his blog, historian Benjamin Thomas White explains why he publicly lists his salary scale and annual salary: "One of the things that contributes to pay inequality in academia (by gender and ethnicity) is a lack of transparency over how much we’re paid, individually." Inspired by Ben and encouraged by conversations with colleagues, I have decided do the same here. On 1 August 2023, I was appointed as Assistant Professor at salary scale 11, step 6. Another relevant data point: when I was first hired as a temporary lecturer in November 2021, I started at salary scale 10, step 7.
