  1. Yikes, that is quite the hiring range. Here's hoping the final offer is closer to that end number.

    1. I found that range on the university's HR site (https://hr.uiowa.edu/pay/pay-plans/professional-and-scientific-pay-structure#heading41971). This sort of wide range for general job classifications seems fairly common at colleges and university.

  2. HR indicates that the range is 40-50k, which even for a city with relatively low cost of living seems on the lower end.
