'The expectation should never be that experience and a line on your resume … are fair compensation.' This week's ScienceWorkingLife.
I saw the bright yellow envelope tucked beneath my windshield wiper and my heart sank. Another parking ticket. Without looking at the amount, I slid the ticket into my glovebox next to its twin, opened the trunk, and handed the faculty candidate beside me the suitcase I had stored for them. I was in the second year of my Ph.D. and the fifth month of serving on a faculty search committee.
Months later, when we brought the top candidates to campus for in-person interviews, I shared meals with them, introduced them before their lectures, and drove them around the campus, accumulating those yellow university parking tickets. I didn’t have the time or energy to dispute them. I was behind on my research, drained, and socially starved.
A couple weeks after the search concluded, however, I reconnected with a mentor at another institution. As we caught up, she asked how the university had compensated me for such a significant commitment. When I said something about food and experience, she told me how she arranges for students in her department to be paid for any service work, at well above minimum wage. The thought had never occurred to me.
