English Lit Salaries for AY 2016-2017

Please indicate the following: Geographical region, school size, urban/rural, rank/position, teaching load, starting salary, misc comments.

Please specify as well candidate status and job level: ABD, Post-Doc, TT, non-TT, starting Assistant, advanced Assistant, Associate, etc. since these factors influence salary levels too.

Would be interesting to see gender given that everyone says women receive lower initial offers and are less likely to negotiate!

For example: Research I, TT starting assistant prof., $54k, 2/3, midwest, small city, negotiated up from $53k.
