Hi! My name is Michelle Johnson and I am a Personnel Analyst at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. The University of Arkansas is currently reviewing the classification of a position in our Research and Sponsored Programs Department that is responsible for managing and directing the office of technology and licensing. I am interested what position title and salary are being used in other educational institutions for positions performing comparable work. Specifically, I would like to know the position title (working title and state title if applicable), salary range for the position, minimum salary and maximum attainable salary, the title of the position to whom the Technology Licensing Manager reports, approximate dollar amount of budget responsibility, number of positions supervised, and approximate number of inventions, patents, and patent applications currently managed.
