/11 Overall, this is fantastic news - postdocs pay isn't even close to matching the increasing cost of living in e.g. California - especially if they have dependents.
/12 There are many potential issues though, so it'll be interesting to see how this is dealt with in the coming years - the main issue being that PIs rely on postdocs that need to be paid by grants, and for the past many years, grants have not increased.
/13 Another interesting question is whether this change to California law will spread across the country - e.g. if postdocs are paid $62k in California, will postdoc still only be paid, say, $50k in New York? California is a big state and could influence the rest of the country!
/14 The most interesting outcome IMO though is this - will the NIH chose to follow pay scales mandated by California to ensure equal (higher) pay for all postdocs? Will they take these changes into consideration when determining grant sizes?
/15 Whatever happens, change is coming - and as a postdoc you should be aware. I hope most of this change will be good - higher and fairer postdoc pay! [As a sidenote, PIs should be aware too when budgeting for future grants...]
We’ve ‘solved’ that problem down here by having vastly fewer postdocs.
Yeah, so that’s one of the ‘solutions’ I fear if the pay isn’t adjusted across the board and taken into consideration by the NIH...
