2008 Compensation Survey Available

The 2008 AALAS Laboratory Animal Facility Compensation Survey is now available in the AALAS Bookstore. The cost is $150 for members and $250 for nonmembers.

The information contained in this report represents complete and up-to-date compensation data on laboratory animal science professionals, allowing an institution to easily compare its compensation levels and benefits with its peers.

The study highlights compensation levels and organizational practices for 12 laboratory animal facility-related positions throughout the United States: director, manager, supervisor, clinical veterinarian, IACUC coordinator, training coordinator, research technician, animal health care technician, senior-level laboratory animal technician, mid-level laboratory animal technician, entry-level laboratory animal technician, and cagewasher.

The 124 responding organizations provided information regarding the institution, the laboratory animal science facility, benefits, salary administration, technician certification, and personnel compensation.

Compensation information was reported for all positions. The data reflect detailed information for each job title (individually and totally for those with certified/non-certified incumbents) as follows:
  • Number of responses
  • Number of incumbents
  • Total compensation (base salary, bonus, overtime, plus other cash compensation)
  • Mean, median, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile
  • Base salary mean
  • Bonus mean
  • Overtime mean
  • Other cash compensation mean
  • Benefits value mean
  • Salary range/wage scale minimum and maximum mean
The data are also broken down by geographic region, type of institution, number of employees, and number of employees in the department.
