ACADEMIC AFFAIRS June 4, 2004
As the result of strong campus support for the reinstatement of a local Project Scientist salary scale, UCSD has implemented revised salary scales for Project Scientists retroactive to January 1, 2004. For disciplines other than business/management and engineering, UCSD has reinstated a Project Scientist salary scale that is equivalent to the Research Scientist series salary scale. The reinstated UCSD salary scale is effective immediately for all new appointments of Project Scientists. Departments should transition current Project Scientists who were hired on the lower UC salary scale to the reinstated UCSD salary scale as funding permits. These salary transitions should be completed by July 1, 2005. For business/management and engineering (B&E) disciplines, UCSD has implemented a revised B&E salary scale. The revised UCSD B&E salary scale is effective immediately for all new appointments of Project Scientists. For Project Scientists at Steps I and II, Associate Project Scientists, and Assistant Project Scientists, the campus B&E scale is equivalent to the UC B&E salary scale. For Project Scientists at Steps III and above, the campus B&E scale is equivalent to the Research Scientist series salary scale. As announced in January 2004, eligible units should transition current Project Scientists to the new B&E salary scale as funding permits. At least 50% of the salary transition should be completed by July 1, 2004, and the full salary transition should be completed by July 1, 2005. Policies, salary scales, and title codes for the Project Scientist series are available at the following websites:
